ALL, THE RECORDING IS NOW AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE Following up on the success and positive feedback from last season (and because I got specifically asked) I figure I'd hold this again this year. What is this? This is a (fairly) comprehensive guide to interviewing. The webinar runs approximately 1:45 minutes in length plus about 15 minutes of questions at the end. And for that extra feel-good fuzzy warm feeling, whatever I make from these goes to my daughter’s 529 plan. Important details: Use the paypal link below and please make sure you use a VALID email - this is how I get you the recording! Please note: there is no way to download the recording, so you must have an internet connection to view it. WGKMAUGQD4PKY https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?c ... MAUGQD4PKY What I plan to cover: - What an interview is all about - What it isn't about - What are people generally assessing? - On campus vs off campus, pro and cons, complete with data to back it up! - Preparation tips, including guidelines on answer length - Guidelines and frameworks to help you develop your stories - The top 4 questions you must know as well as data illustrating the most common type of question! - Dealing with difficult questions - How to use the stories you already know to your advantage - Sample good answers and sample not-so-good answers - A long list of practice questions (some from here, some from actual interviewer guides) - Example questions to ask the interviewer (for both students and alumns) - Guidelines and things to keep in mind post-interview - What to do if you don't get a reply to thank you notes - What to do if your interviewer is difficult Tactical details: The webinar’s are held online with powerpoint and audio broadcast (no dial in) and to the best of my knowledge work just fine with IE, firefox, etc. Any questions please feel free to post here.

paypalled, looking forward to it.

Info should be in your mailbox. Let me know if it isn't!

Thanks, just watched it, and I'd definitely recommend it to others. Do keep us posted about whether you decide to do a Take 2. (Will those of us who bought access to the recording be able to log on live to the encore performance?)

Rhyme - thanks again for the webinar. quick question: what is the etiquette (sp?) for keeping the folio open during the interview? Is it strange for me to be taking notes while the interviewer speaks? I know for job interviews I usually ask the interviewer if they mind me taking notes, but not sure if I should do the same for this. Gracias Mr F

Thanks. Yea, I can do a take two, maybe around thanksgiving sometime? I'm happy to pass the link on to whomever already bought the recording, I don't see why not. Let me look at my calendar and I'll try to pick a date (maybe a weekend so its less of an issue for folks?)

Absolutely do take notes - my advice is just to say something like "Would you mind if I took notes while you spoke?" -- the interviewer isnt likely to say more than two words back ("sure", "no problem", etc) but it lets them know what you are doing and lets you feel comfortable to scribble. As an added bonus, it gives you something to do with your hands (ever sit there staring at someone? Its actually quite an odd feeling), plus, it demonstrates a genuine interest (you are actually taking note, rather than just asking for the sake of asking).

Rhyme, I'm not able to hear the recording properly. The slides as well as the chat window is moving at the normal speed, but the audio is either garbled or completely blank... Not sure if it's a problem at my end.. Can you please check to see if you face similar issues whenever you get a chance? Thanks!

I haven't heard of this problem from others (and works OK on my end) -- have you tried updating your flash player? https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

Yeah..I have the latest player installed.. Also just to clarify I have heard bits & pieces of the recording a couple of times earlier without issues. It was only today when I thought of listening to it from start to finish did I start facing problems...I guess if no one else is facing any problems, it might be due to my crappy internet connection. I wish there was a facility on anymeeting to buffer the recording in advance (like youtube) and then watch it later from start to finish without buffering issues!!
