How should students prepare for interviews?
Judges’ Roundtable: the Interview

While interviews can be stress-inducing, there is something you can do to combat the tension—prepare. Here is some guidance for getting ready for the main event.

Rotary International Ambassadorial Scholarship Program “There are certain things that you can do to prepare for the interview. The no-brainer is knowing a little bit about Rotary.

The interview is not designed to be a test like do you know all the capitals in the U.S. We presuppose that everyone is smart.

What we’re more interested in is the applicants themselves.

What do you believe in? What do you stand for? Those aren’t things that you can bone up on. They’re either part of who you are or not.”

“The interview is your 15 minutes of glory. This is not the time to be modest. You have bragging rights. Use this opportunity.

Prepare for it and know what you want to say.”
