General Comments:
· Questions were entirely “traditional”
· Don’t stress, just have some stories about experiences in mind and be open and honest with the recruiter
· I knew this before going in, but I think it is very important for students to know that making a conversation is incredibly important in the interview, it not only shows you have great communication skills, but it makes you feel more at ease. You feel like you’re doing a good job and that you’re connecting, so you will be less panicked and will be able to answer questions more easily and comfortably. Just relax!
