College Interveiws

Ian Maxwell

             In the interview with a college admissions representative there are some key things you want to do. The first is you must have a good first impression: firm handshake, introduce yourself and always make eye contact. The next important thing to do in an interview is to have good posture. Do not slouch or look too relaxed; also do not have restless leg syndrome. Keep your legs still by bring an index card in to keep your hands busy. The third important thing to remember is to write on that index card what that rep should remember about you. This will help you stay focused.  Consider writing a question that you have on that card, having a question shows that you were involved in the conversation. Remember that this is a conversation not an interrogation session. Also think about your best answer not the ‘right one’. Most importantly be firm, professional but relaxed.
