Hey, collegiettes! It’s time again for those dreaded group interviews. Whether you’re applying to be an RA, go on SIE, or join the Honors Council, we’ve created a list of tips that are sure to make you stand out.
1) Include everyone in group activities – employers are looking for people who can work on a team without stepping on others. Remember to show them you can be a team player.
2) Listen well – In a group interview many people feel pressured to talk often and make themselves stand out. In fact, listening and making few, yet well thought-out, replies actually makes you stand out more.
3) Research – Be prepared to ask intelligent questions that will set you apart.
4) Dress well – A profession outfit will make you memorable to employers and illustrate how job-ready you are.
5) Incorporate what others say – The ability to take a part of what other people say and create one solution will get you far in an interview.
