What are your general comments?
Everyone was really friendly and the interviewers acted more like they wanted to get to know you rather than to interrogate you, which definitely helped with the nerves. Food always makes me happy, so the fact that there were bagels, food bars, fruit, etc. offered was a huge plus.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
What kinds of things were you able to see/do at the places you worked/volunteered?
What was the most interesting question?
Most of the more interesting questions were ones that were directed at my own personal experiences that I had mentioned.
How did you prepare for the interview?
Read through my application, thought about answers to previously asked interview questions, and looked at some behavioral type questions
What was the most difficult question?
Why should we pick you over anyone else in that room (our "holding room," essentially) back there?
What impressed you positively?
Everyone was so friendly! The interviewers were really nice and welcoming. We had our own room to sit and wait and chat with other interviewees with food and drink, which was nice because the open house was going on as well. Actually, having interviews the same day as open house made the environment a little more welcoming, and we were able to see a lot things that go at the school.
What impressed you negatively?
Can't recall anything specific
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
The interview was really structured so that you were in control. The majority of questions were formed from things you mentioned early on in the interview after you answered the traditional, "Tell me about yourself" question.
