Interview Questions


  1. What courses did you like the best and least in college?
    • My least favorite would probably be the mathematics and science courses. I value those subjects, and they have their place, but to me they are simply a means for more right-brained function. My favorite courses always involved creativity and working with people. I loved Film production, creative writing, and Theatre classes the most. 
  2. What accomplishment has given you the greatest satisfaction?
    • In 2009 I was blessed enough to get the chance to work hard on learning very difficult choral music. My choir mates and I were selected to travel to New York City and perform with the National Youth Choir in Carnegie Hall. I still remember the feeling I had on stage. I was humbled and honored to be admitted as worthy of that stage. It was the opportunity of a lifetime, and I learned so much from that experience.
  3. How do you handle yourself when you're having a conflict with someone? Do you tend to confront the person or do you avoid that person? Why?
    • Being in theatre and choir for a number of years, as well as various leadership positions has taught me that each person or office has a different way to deal with conflict. Some people react negatively to direct confrontation, while other people need more concrete communication to get the point. No matter the specific topic, I try to communicate with each person with which I may be in conflict according to how I (or possibly others who know them better) ascertain they would best respond to find some sort of settlement, whether it be compromise or a decision to one side or the other. 
There's a little sample! Three possible interview questions and my answers to them!
