During the selection
process, we will try to gather as much information about as possible using
a structured set of questions and an objective rating system. We encourage
you to consider the following recommendations as you prepare for your
interviews:
- Carefully read all the information which pertains
to the position(s) which you are applying. Also talk to current RAs/PMs
before the process. It is very important that you have a good understanding
of the position(s) and what it entails.
- Think about your past experiences and how they
may relate to the position(s). Be prepared to talk about these.
- Practice. Think about possible questions that you
might be asked and plan how you would answer.
- Think about how you would sell yourself
as a candidate. Think about your strengths and skills and how you
would talk about them.
- Be on time for all appointments. We recommend that
you arrive at least 10 minutes early so that you have a few minutes
to relax and prepare yourself. There will be seating outside the interview
room.
- Think about any questions you would like to ask.
- Make a presentable well-groomed appearance. T-shirts,
jeans, baseball caps, and tennis shoes are not appropriate. The process
is not formal, so suits are not necessary. Choose something between
casual and formal. Dress comfortably (khakis pants, sweaters, etc.)
for Carousel, yet remember that you are selling yourself.
- Speak confidently during all sessions. We're looking
for honest and sincere answers.
- Relax and be yourself! We want to get to know the
real you.
