In this episode, I'm covering all things counselor interviews. Remember when you were interviewing for counseling positions or maybe you're interviewing right now?

I know that it was an emotional roller coaster preparing, interviewing and dealing with rejection. It took me quite a few interviews before landing my dream job. That's why I love to talk about this! AND I decided to tag in some help! Thank you to everyone who submitted their advice!

Listen in to hear us eloborate on these pieces of advice:

Research the school - Look up demographics, mission, goals and relate how you can contribute.

Don't sell yourself short - Be confident in your skills and experiences.

Embrace your individuality - Admin want to see your genuine personality and fit with school culture.

Prioritize students - Give examples of how you make students a top priority.

Thank you notes - Writing thank you notes that stand out and are appreciated by interviewers.

Seriously, this is a DO NOT MISS!
