"I thought I did my research, reading SDN for interview feedback, brain storming ethical responses to the aids/cancer question, and then coming up with the why DO answer. But it just didn't end up how I pictured it. This was my first interview so I thought I would be fine for it but I was nervous, I said umm a lot and my interviewer was good at asking me questions that caught me off guard. But after working some answers off the bat, it got better because I felt I was just being myself and telling him how I felt about the classes I took, the Chicago Cubs, Sammy Sosa and Western (which I've visited twice). I thought the format was well thought out, presentation first, then tour then interview. This was afternoon interview. Best advice- Read Gevitz's book and go into the interview, with perhaps less caffeine and confidence. I thought it was nerve wracking only cuz it was my first but now in hindsight, my interviewer was just trying to have me open up. " Report Response
