<p>Hints for organizing your answers to interview questions.</p><p>1. Organize your answer in advance! You can pre-write because I’ve given you the questions. 2. You will be expected to write a well-organized paragraph to answer these questions. Your paragraph should contain the following: a. A topic sentence that restates the question. This is a general statement. b. 2 details/examples from your skills and experience. You should also identify at least 1 quality that makes you a good employee. (reliable, friendly, hard-working…) c. 1 reference to an employer. Refer to them by name if possible. What is something they have said you do well?</p><p>3. Write in paragraph form. Make sure you write in complete sentences. You can order your ideas with transition words like “first”, “second”, “for example”, “also”, and “in addition”</p><p>4. Remember to be honest, but share what you can do. Think about the positive things people have said about you in your school-based jobs, or in other jobs you have had like babysitting.</p><p>Example: Why should we hire you?</p><p>You should hire me for many reasons. First, I’ve worked as a camp counselor with just about every age group from kindergarten through junior high. Second, I have experience putting on camp shows and musicals, and I can assist the drama coach. My boss, Wendy Safe, at Camp Willow said I’m a great leader, and that all the campers love to be in my cabin. You will find that I bring a lot of enthusiasm to the job. </p>
