so as i've said before, i'm really nervous for this interview tonight because i really want this job. so i've been thinking about how i can better prepare myself to have the best interview possible. and i know i need to dress well, wear little to no make-up (since it's for a camp counseling position), and look the woman interviewing me in the eye while i'm speaking, but other than that i really want to think about what questions she might ask me and how i might answer them. so i googled some possible interview questions for jobs which involve work with children.

 What five adjectives describe you best?

passionate, hyperactive, hard-working, understanding, and sometimes impatient  Why should I consider you for this position? i'm great with kids, i love the outdoors and always try and make whatever i'm asked to do or happen to be doing as fun as possible for everyone involved.  Why are you the best candidate for this position? i'm dedicated to whatever i set my mind to and would make a great role model for kids of the campers age bracket.  Tell me about the one thing in your life you're proudest of. i'm most proud of the example i've set which has helped shape the personalities of my younger brother and sister. they're very outgoing, kind, and genuine kids, i love them, and i'm proud of everything they do.  You've changed jobs frequently. What makes you think that this position will be different? having a job where you live where you work makes coworkers more like family, i think that with a close relationship with my coworkers and employers i will feel much more valued and enjoy my job more.  What qualities do you think are necessary to make a success of this job? i think that a live-in camp counselor needs to be understanding, outgoing, upbeat, and patient.  Describe your ideal job.  my ideal job is one where i am not sitting or standing in one place all day, i get to be outdoors sometimes, get to work on projects which can be finished, use my creativity, and have a flexible schedule.  How did you find out about this job? i used to attend camp foster once a summer when i was younger.  What do you know about the job? i know that i will live on the campgrounds, be expected to be responsible for the well-being off my assigned campers, being open to doing whatever i am asked, and always being fun and outgoing!  What kinds of work interest you the most? anything where i am in constant contact with people! love anything outdoors, and would love to effect the world.

i don't know..but hopefully my answers aren't horrible, i'm not used to having to interview for jobs coming from such a small town. i guess the way it worked back home everyone pretty much knew everyone so they didn't really need to ask you anything they just kind of knew whether you were fit for the job or not. and i know that interviewing to be a camp counselor isn't exactly life or death but it would for sure make or break my summer i think, so i'm going to cross my fingers and hope for the best! wish me luck! time to shower and get ready!
