Advice for Telephone Interview?
Hiiiiii Nesties!!!!!
Hmm...seems like I only come around when I need something, huh??? Sorry about that!
I potentially have a telephone interview next week for a graduate school (YAAAAY!!!). Any advice for me to figure out what questions to ask about the school? Or, advice for how to answer questions since there's going to be limited time to answer AND make a good impression?
It's hard to believe I'd have to make such a HUGE decision to go to the school if they did interview me and make an offer, because I have never been there before. Any advice about that?
TIA!
Re: Advice for Telephone Interview?
I guess I'd brush up on everything you can find out about the school, and compile a list of the questions you have before the interview. Most interviewers ask if you have any questions, so that would be the best time to go through them. If you have more and run out of time, I don't think it would be out of line to ask the person who you could contact to ask more questions. If they make you an offer on the spot, ask when they need to know by and say that you need to discuss it with your family before making that commitment.
Good luck!
Since it is a phone interview, definitely use it to your advantage. Like make a list of your best qualities/strengths, or what you think you could bring to the program - and that way when they ask you tough questions, you might have them on paper.
You could ask things like class size, how many professors there are in the program, requirements for graduation (I could choose between a thesis and sort of like an internship), work load/credit reqs, assistantships - but I'd see what info is available online etc first before asking (so if anything, you are just clarifying, not asking stuff that is obvious). Not sure if you are open to an assistantship but it paid for my grad school plus a stipend on top of it, but then I couldnt go above something like 11 credits a semester.
Good luck! That sounds exciting!
