Preparing For Your Assabet Interview

All interviews will be scheduled directly through Assabet.  They will be offering both in person and video call interviews.  

Pre-Interview Pointers:

• Prepare by practicing these questions with someone.
• Get a good night’s sleep.  Eat breakfast.
• Dress neatly.  Be yourself, but put together.
• Be respectful. Confident.  Don’t use slang.
• Take your time answering.  It is okay to take time to gather your thoughts.
• First impressions matter.  Make good eye contact and introduce yourself.
• Have fun!  Remember:  There are NO wrong answers!
• What does it mean to “sell yourself” in an interview
• What are some skills or traits you want to show to your interviewer?
• How can we turn a negative scenario into a positive?  Consider how remote/hybrid learning has affected you this year.  If you have had a difficult time, can you help the interview understand why?
