College Interview Tips and Strategies
This episode is an interview… on interviews! Monica James--whom you may’ve heard previously on the podcast in the episode on Demonstrated Interest--absolutely crushes it in this interview, offering more practical advice than you’ll find in most weekend workshops on this topic. And it’s no wonder: for years she’s been teaching people (and in particular high school students) how to give great interviews. We cover, among other things:
- Why do colleges give interviews?
- Can a bad interview actually hurt your application chances?
- How do you prepare for the interview?
- What’s the one thing that colleges are looking for above all else?
- How do you answer the “Why this college” interview question?
- How do you answer the Strengths and Weaknesses interview Question?
- How do you answer the Tell Me About Your Reading Life or “What books have you read recently” question?
- What is the hardest interview question and how do you handle it?
- What if you get a “bad” interviewer?
- What if you’re asked a question in an interview that you truly don’t know the answer to?
- How much does body language matter in an interview?
- What should you wear to an interview?
- How do I handle a Skype or Phone Interview?
- How do I set up an interview?
- How should I practice?
- What about Scholarship Interviews—are they different?
