Interviews can be intimidating, especially if it’s your first time. But, if you’re well prepared and feel confident in yourself, then you’ll do great!

Tell us a bit about yourself!

Tell us about your greatest strength/weaknesses! 

Tell me about your leadership experience.

Here are a few tips for ace-ing interviews according to situations:

University & College Interviews 

Prepare answers for common questions. Most universities will want to know your answers to, "Why do you want to study the subject?" and, "Why do you want to go to this university?". Have your responses to these questions polished and memorised.

Be able to describe why you might be a good first for the institution. Interviewers want to ensure that you’re a good candidate both on paper and in person, so consider things you’ve done that show character.

Know about the institution that you’re applying to. It’s important to highlight a particular attribute you like about the institution/course. This can be in terms of facilities offered or events held annually. Having a good general knowledge base that shows the interviewer that you are sincerely interested and have done your homework!

Bring a copy of your academic resume! You might be asked to bring a portfolio of your work, especially if you are applying for a creative arts course. Make sure you remember to bring it as much (including a variety) of your interview will be focused on this work. For example, if you’re planning to apply to an art course, bring in the different types of artworks you have done - painted, sculpture work etc. 

Scholarships Interviews 

Be able to tell the interviewer why you deserve the scholarship.

Make sure you link your accomplishments to the scholarship’s mission statement! 

Know you application essay well! 

If there’s a presentation, prepare well & practise, practise, practise! 

Arrive at least 15 Minutes Earlier! Make sure you know where you are going and have contact details so you can call them if there is a problem. This will avoid adding any unnecessary stress.

Dress smartly and comfortably. 

Come prepared with a list of questions about the course/university/employer! This shows you were planning ahead. Prepare at least four beforehand, and feel free to add to those based on what you learn in the interview. For example: 

What do you wish people in my shoes knew about attending this institution?

Do you have any advice for me as I prepare for college?

hello everyone! since i'm turning 20 soon, and 2020 is almost ending, i've decided to create my own 28 day anti-procrastination challenge. i've tried doing challenges on my blog before but really struggled to stay committed. i hope that this time, i can really stick to my plans and goals. i've struggled with procrastination my entire life, and i really want to tackle this bad habit and incorporate better habits before i turn 20, and before this year ends. i will be using a mixture of resources i found online for this challenge. the first day of my challenge will be today (nov 24, 2020).

steps for starting the challenge:

make a not-to-do list (a list of tasks you will not do, no matter what)

make a rewards list

sign up for the beat procrastination challenge on: here (this is a 30 day challenge, but i'll be using this because after 28 days, i should still be using these habits, so there should be no reason why i can't answer the questions for an extra 2 days)

rules (based off of my challenge tribe, with additional rules i added):

review your not-to-do list as soon as you wake up

work on your most important task of the day for a minimum of 25 minutes as soon as you start your day (i will be keeping my phone on airplane mode and NOT check my email until after i've worked for 25 minutes)

give yourself a time limit for each thing you have to do

take breaks according to a set time (i'll be taking a 10 minute break every 50 minutes of work)

if you have a distracting thought or random task that you realized you have to do during a work session, write it down and work on it during your break.

reward yourself if you get a task done without procrastinating and within the time limit

when you have spare time, do what you have to do. do not put it off until the next day.

follow the schedule below

check in with the challenge tribe daily

schedule: * modules workbooks are from here  day 1 - day 2 - module 1 day 3 - day 4 - module 2 day 5 - day 6 - module 3 day 7 - make a check-in post on tumblr (what worked, what didn't work, how you'll improve if needed) day 8 - module 4 day 9 - day 10 - module 5 day 11 - day 12 - module 6 day 13 - day 14 - module 7 day 15 - make a second check-in post day 16-27 - day 28 - final check-in post

I was never sure what to do with flowers as they die...preserve their petals between book pages? Dry them and crush the petals into a bath? Bury them in the garden? These days I allow them to wither on my desk - it hurt my heart at first but it reminds me that some processes can’t be prevented.
