My biggest question relates to those who are more or less ‘poor testers’. In my personal experience, I know that interviews don’t always go so well. I get nervous, I get scatterbrained, I always leave the interview thinking, “I should’ve said that! That’s exactly what I wanted to say!” Basically my application is much better than my explanation. Currently I’m a junior music ed major and like the rest of my colleagues from Kent State, the entire thought of graduating is so surreal that one, where do I go (which was answered above, thank you), and how do I convince my employers that I may be what I am in this interview, but on the podium, in front of students, running a rehearsal I am a completely different person?
