Interview Prep

“Tell me about yourself.”

Keep it under a minute: your class/course → one or two interests → why you want this role.

“What are your strengths?”

Pick one, add proof.

“I'm reliable — I managed our event budget and kept it on track.”

“What is your weakness?”

Name a real, fixable one, plus what you're doing about it.

“I get nervous presenting, so I now volunteer to speak in class.”

Don't say “I have none.”

“Why do you want this internship/job?”

Connect it to learning.

“I want real experience in this field, not just from books.”

“Where do you see yourself in a few years?”

Show direction, not a perfect plan.

“Growing my skills and taking on more responsibility.”

“Tell me about a problem you faced.”

Use the 3 steps. Small and real is fine.

“Tell me about a mistake you made.”

Be honest, then say what you learned. Owning it calmly looks good.

“How do you handle pressure or deadlines?”

Give your real method.

“I make a list and do the most important thing first.”

“What do you know about us?”

Spend 10 minutes reading about the company before you go.

“Do you have any questions for us?”

Say yes!

“What would I do day to day?” or “What will I learn here?”

Don't say “no questions.”
