Here are some guidelines: Highlight experiences that demonstrate inner strength or upright character Describe experiences that set you apart as unique from the rest of the applicant population remember, the college or university is interested about how you will add value. So, show how you will make your 4 years at the school special and why the university will be better off for having admitted you. Youll think Im crazy, but here we go: if youre a female or a minority play the game. Yup, I cant believe I just said that. But, you can do so in a way that is not martyr-like or as if you were the victim somehow. You can show how you overcame adversity that was somewhat related to your special class. People love reading that stuff. Lets test my advice on the Harvard College Admission Essay Questions, which are below: Please write an essay of 250 â€" 500 words on a topic of your choice or on one of the options listed below, and attach it to your application before submission. Please indicate your topic by checking the appropriate box. This personal essay helps us become acquainted with you as a person and student, apart from courses, grades, test scores, and other objective data. It will also demonstrate your ability to organize your thoughts and express yourself. NOTE: Your Common Application essay should be the same for all colleges. Do not customize it in any way for individual colleges. Colleges that want customized essay responses will ask for them on a supplement form. Evaluate a signi?cant experience, achievement, risk you have taken, or ethical dilemma you have faced and its impact on you. Discuss some issue of personal, local, national, or international concern and its importance to you. Indicate a person who has had a signi?cant in?uence on you, and describe that in?uence. Describe a character in ?ction, a historical ?gure, or a creative work (as in art, music, science, etc.) that has had an in?uence on you, and explain that in?uence. A range of academic interests, personal perspectives, and life experiences adds much to the educational mix. Given your personal background, describe an experience that illustrates what you would bring to the diversity in a college community or an encounter that demonstrated the importance of diversity to you. Topic of your choice. Okay, lets analyze this, but know one thing for sure: DO NOT choose topic of choice. Why? Its kind of weird. You see, the committee wants to see uniqueness, but they also need something to compare you to. So, your response will be compared to others responses to the same question. Without having a base of comparison (like if you choose the topic of your choice), they wont know what to do with you. Moving on. Lets look at each question and evaluate an approach: For this question, they are looking for a glimpse into how you think and the worldview by which you see the world. If youve taken significant risk, what was it and what drove your thinking and what drove you make that decision? You dig? How do you think about issues this is what they are looking for. Do you consider aspects of issues or are you selfish in your approach. What values do you hold? Whats important to you and why? As far as that goes, the rest of the questions, I dont believe are germane. By that I mean focus on the first 3 questions. Remember my advice about having something to compare to? Thats why.

Beating Out Competition in Group Interviews

Beating Out Competition in Group Interviews (image courtesy of www.staffingtalk.com) First and foremost, relax. You are going into an interview as you. Youve got your game face on, but thats your face. This is all about you fitting the job, not you contorting yourself for that job. If you dont feel comfortable doing the job you will be asked to do, then dont interview for it. Make sure that what youre going to do will help you do what you want. You will be ultimately working for someone, but if you cant get into it, get out of it. Go into the interview being honest with the interviewer about who you are and what your strengths and weaknesses are. Being genuine about yourself helps the interviewer gauge your level of competency for the job at hand better. Being you lets you be completely unique from everyone else in the group. If you want the position, use you to pop out. Next, make sure you know what youre getting into. If you go into the interview blind, chances are youre not the only one, but if you are, you will automatically get mentally demoted in the interviewers mind. Make sure you know what youre interviewing for. Whats the position? What are the responsibilities? Whats the company name? Motto? Business plan? Do a bit of research, say 30 minutes, and dig up some stuff on the position. This bit of info can let you form questions for the interviewer and build up answers. If youre prepared and the competition isnt, youve got an edge immediately. Speaking of questions, make sure youve practiced a few beforehand. Mock interviews are an excellent source of experience for their real-world counterparts. Dressing up, practicing your speaking voice, your business appearance, and your questions can help. You can also formulate questions the interviewer might ask and develop some answers. Even if the interviewer doesnt ask these questions, it can be helpful if they are similar. A word of warning though: do not rattle off a canned answer. This seems fake no matter what. Use your voice and word choice to answer in your way. Be honest. Dont pretend to know all the answers. If you dont know, simply saying that can be better than a more bold, but misleading statement. Its better to say you dont understand or dont know the answer than to muddle through something half-done. Asking questions can also help someone else in the group who doesnt speak up. Take notes. When you ask questions, write down the answers. When you have a question, write it down quietly and bring it up at the end when the interviewer asks if anyone has questions. This makes you stand out as a serious contender and allows you to bring up the topics you need more info on and retain that same info. (image courtesy of www.doncooper.com) Be you. If its a group interview, its about sieving through contenders to reach the one thats right for the position. If youre not right for the position, you will fall through. If you manage to change yourself to fit in with the position and end up with it, are you really sure you want to be in that position? Doing this can hurt the group or company youre interviewing for and then hurt you by being in a job youre not cut out for. This can also bite you in the butt if you cant perform in that position since your superiors might not recommend you when moving on. Group interviews can be a nerve-wracking environment and one that you will never get used to, but they can be an exciting chance to show the interviewer not just what youre made of, but how you stand out from the rest.
