Key Points for an interview
- Smile!
- Be prepared to shake hands firmly, but don't break the interviewers wrist. Similarly a "wet fish" (weak) handshake will suggest a weak character.
- Wait to be invited to sit down.
- Try to relax - don’t sit on the edge of your chair and don't lean too far back: sit up reasonably straight and still.
- Don't sit with your arms crossed (see question 1)
- Keep up good eye contact with the interviewer (according to research this apparently is especially important for men) but don't eyeball them all the time!
- Speak clearly but not too fast: a deeper calm voice suggests authority, whereas as excitable high-pitched voice suggests a nervous personality.
- Head nodding to show agreement can help, especially for female candidates.
Practice - Interview your partner - when you are both ready - call me over to observe for grade.

DEFINITION of SYMBOL:
A symbol is an actual, tangible THING that represents an abstract IDEA.
Examples: The FENCE is the SYMBOL / PRIVACY is the IDEA
When a constructed response asks for the MESSAGE, do not retell the story. The message usually is clearest at the end of the story so go back and check there. The message is can be the theme - the IDEA that the story is trying to tell you / the point it is trying to make. Symbols help the reader visualize this point.
Example: The FENCE story helps the reader visualize that if people continue to build bigger walls around themselves, thay may gain privacy, but they will lose community and isolate themselves from society.
