Think about your core values, accomplishments, gifts and talents. Anticipate what would be the interviewer’s concern and answer it before it even becomes a concern. Ask a genuine question, don’t worry about whether they’ll be able to answer it or not - what’s important is that you’re showing an interest in that area. Also, read the school newspaper and discuss or ask about  some issues or hot topics from there. When letting them know who you are, back up your claims with some proof. Instead of saying you’re patient, say “my friends/siblings would say that I’m patient” or you could tell an instance where you showed that value. "If you do not share, they will not know." —  Shellee Howard Connect with Shellee Howard:Free copy of Shellee’s best selling book, “How to send your student to college without losing your mind or your money!”  https://freebook.collegereadyplan.com/Website:  https://collegereadyplan.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCr_WodPHDfSWEbiPdsRDbyQTwitter: https://twitter.com/gocollegereadyInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/collegereadyplan/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CollegeReadyPlan/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/college-ready/Email: [email protected] 🎁 Episode Gift & Contact 🎓 College Planning Support for ParentsWant help organizing next steps and avoiding costly college mistakes? 📘 Workbook Gift:https://go.collegereadyplan.com/podcast-gift-workbook 🤝 Interested in Collaborating with College Ready?Email Julienne at [email protected]
