Here are some tips & ideas for interviews:

1. Let them know how passionate you are about counseling.
2. Tell them that one of your weaknesses might be planning a comprehensive program, but that you are up to the challenge with the help of another school counseling colleague (networking & consultation).
3. Focus on how you are a team player

Share some experiences you had in your internship that helped you grow as a person and as a counselor.

Explain how you would help with a positive school climate:

1. Being Visible
2. Recognizing everyone for good work (teachers, cafeteria staff, admin, custodians, etc.)
3. Creating a safe space for students (explain how you would do it).
4. Programs for parents
5. Family movie night
6. Dad & Daughter lunch

Ask the interviewers:

1. Will I be doing classroom, individual, & small groups?
2. Will I have the freedom to run my own program and be supported?
3. What duties will I expect to have (bus duty, etc.)
