Want to answer more questions in the Work & School category?
Maybe give some free advice about: School?
I go to a private school, and when going to my interview, before at home that morning my dad asked me questions that he figured they would ask. Things like, what sports do you play, why do you want to go to this school, what school would you go to if you didnt get accepted, and things like that. Have someone ask you those questions and answer them outloud. also have questions to ask the interviewer about the school to show that you are interested in coming to the schoool. Dont worry too much about it either. Just be yourself and smile.
good luck. xox

1. Dress to impress- Don't wear jeans. Wear nice black pants or khakis. No T-shirts, either. Try a nice sweater or oxford. Sometimes the interviewer will have a sheet that will be marked on how well the interviewee (if that's a word) presented and dressed themselves.
2. Be courteous, and speak when spoken to. Answer all questions in a confident, clear voice. The most common question is "Every year we recieve more applications than the number we can accept. Why should we pick you?". Answer in a very confident voice this time, and make it original, but classy. When a hand is given to you to shake, grip tightly and firmly. Seriously, a lot of people judge someone on their handshake. Be polite, mind your manners, quietly observe how things are done, and smile. This is important. Look people right in the eye and give a friendly smile. And act smart and when asked to write something, if anything at all, capitalize your I's and sentences, and use proper punctuation which you have neglected to do here. IMPORTANT: DO NOT LAUGH, unless the person giving a joke does first. If you laugh inappropriately, then it could be taken offensively.
CAUTION: I don't know if you know this, but if you meet someone Asian there, Heaven forbid you bow. So do not on any circumstances, bow. Shake hands. Some people assume that bowing would be polite, but it will be taken offensively if you don't do it correctly, which you're bound to if you have not had years of practice.
Have a nice day.
