💬 Interview Process

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Tell me about yourself.

What was the most interesting question?

Describe a time where you had to document a situation. How did your observations help you in future situations? (something along those lines)

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, mock interviews with my sister

What was the most difficult question?

Describe a situation when your integrity was brought into question. How did you deal with that situation/what was the outcome?

What impressed you positively?

The students and faculty seemed very friendly and laid back. There was a familial type of closeness amongst everyone. The fact that the program is accelerated is a big plus also.

What impressed you negatively?

Stockton. Someone in the group said that they called to order takeout but the restaurant wouldn't deliver to where he was staying in downtown because it was too dangerous. The fact that Stockton is number two behind Oakland in crime rate isn't particularly settling either.
