💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
They didn't start with the dreaded open-ended "Tell us about yourself". Instead, they asked me to start off by talking about where I go to school. My favorite class, etc.
What was the most interesting question?
How do you feel about state mandated spays and neuters? Or something along those lines...to address the unwanted animal issues
How did you prepare for the interview?
I read the questions on here and did a mock-interview with my professors
What was the most difficult question?
There was the standard euthansaia question, but they said that the owner had been thoroughly counseled and still wanted the animal put down. Essentially, they wanted a straight yes or no answer---no beating around the bush
What impressed you positively?
Everything was SO personalized. I didn't just feel like applicant number 245
What impressed you negatively?
I enjoyed the full day of activities, but I was a little tired at the end of the day when I had my interview.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
To come with MORE questions that you think you may need. I had so many of my questions answered (before I even asked them!) BEFORE the interview. So when my interviewers asked me if I had any questions, I was lucky that I was able to make one up on the fly.
