Quick interview note #2

Posted by Dee

Most times, you’re going to be doing your college interview in a cafe, coffee shop, restaurant, etc. (Sometimes it’ll take place at your house or your interviewer’s house, but I’m not sure that’s too common… at least not where I’m from, but leave a comment if the norm is different where you live.)

Most likely before your interview starts you’ll order food or drink. Do not order messy food! Your task at this interview is not to eat; it’s to be interviewed — so do not make yourself distracted with food. Order something basic (personally, tea is always a good way to go because it doesn’t leave you with coffee-breath, it’s cheaper than most other beverages, and it’s simple). If you’re having lunch, or dinner (probably pretty rare to have your interview over dinner though), I’d recommend a salad (hold the dressing because it can splash all over, stain your shirt, and be otherwise a messy dish).
