💬 Interview Questions

What was the most interesting question?

Can you explain why your grades improved as you progressed through college? I remembered this because I didn't think my grades DID improve. I actually thought they got worse, and I told her as such.

What was the most difficult question?

So you've never had a summer job or one outside of the academic setting. Why? I thought this was just a mean question to make me feel like I was a spoiled brat, when during the school year, I worked at least 2 work-study jobs a semester
