What to Wear:
Candidates are encouraged to arrive dressed in business casual attire and ready to put your best foot forward. Need outfit inspiration or assistance? Visit the Career Closet! Students can explore professional clothing options available to them. Students can choose one outfit a semester from a range of gently used business clothes, like suits, dresses, pants, skirts, blouses, and blazers.
How to Prep:
During your RA interview, you will be asked situational and scenario-based questions. These questions ask you to think about how you would respond to a realistic situation you may encounter as an RA. You don't need to have experienced every situation before! Instead, think about examples from your past that demonstrate skills like leadership, teamwork, communication, problem-solving, and empathy.
A great way to prepare is to use the STAR method:
S - Situation: What was happening, and give context for your example.
T - Task: Explain your specific responsibility, goal, or the challenge you needed to address.
A - Action: What did you do? Share the actions you personally took to solve the problem.
R - Result: Share the outcomes or final results of your efforts.
