Thursday, November 18th: Video Equations & Mock Interviews

Emilyn lead the class in a conversation about the importance and role of interviewing skills.  

To help illustrate her point, Emily and Margo did a mock interview that the students critiqued.

Margo played the role of a student going on a college interview while Emilyn interviewed her.

After the intervirew, students commented on what she had done well and what could be improved.

INTERVIEW TIPS:

• Dress professionally, but don't compromise your own style
• Pay attention to your body language and what it communicates, you want to convey confidence
• If your interviewer isn't particularly warm, don't be intimidated
• Use the questions they ask you as a chance to tell the stories and information YOU want to share!
• This is your time to get your personality across
• An interview won't hurt you, it will always help!!
• PRACTICE!!!!!!!!

Emilyn will conduct individual mock interviews on Tuesday with students and give them feedback. Thanks to Emilyn for sharing your expertise!

Some students also recorded mini-videos reading the equations they wrote along with their artist statements.  

Below are some of the students equation videos:
