mgerhar5 Practice! Practice! Practice! We set up mock interviews with school officials from the area and they ask the questions they usually ask job applicants. Students dress in their best interview clothing and we make it all as real as possible. Student feedback has been very positive. Many said they were asked the same questions when they interviewed for employment after graduation. You can also interview other students and ask them to return the favor. You got good at your instrument because you dedicated yourself to the process of learning. Interview skills can be acquired in the same manner. write a script of really good phrases or positive comments and memorize them. Be positive throughout the interview. Hope some of this resonates with you.
