I bet that in this field, they don't use MTV show names as the titles of interview prep programs
It occurred to me today that I haven't done a job interview in over a year and a half, and I may want to go over my list of common questions and prepare some answers before next week. This time, I have extra things to consider as well. How do I account for the past 12 months of unemployment? What do I say about leaving Herzl early in 2001? The latter will surely come up, as that job is the most clearly related to the one I'm interviewing for. And what about other common interview questions? My weaknesses ("areas for growth") have certainly changed since the spring of 2004, so what are they now? And how will this interview be different than a student affairs interview? Can I be as honest about myself as I would be interviewing in that arena? Do I talk about having AS? Do I mention that I'd rather not start immediately if they ask me about that, or do I save it for when I get a job offer? Am I an idiot for posting these concerns on my website?
And of course, the ultimate interview question: why did I get so many pimples when I had PMS last week that just won't go away?
