SUGGESTIONSFORINTERVIEWATTIRE
Thoughts and Suggestions1. A “driving” tour of Mobile may provide first hand inf�mation to usein �e interview. 2. A visit to Mobile’s Welcome Center, F�t Conde, wi�provide valuable inf�mation. There are a lot of �ochures �ere on �epoints of interest in Mobile.3. An appropriate dress f� an interview wi� most likely NOT be foundin �e juni� department. A good interview suit is a w��y investmentsince you wi� likely have several interviews in �e future in which youcould also wear it.4. Typica�y a photographer wi� take �e best picture of you. Again,a photographer would be a w��y investment since you can use itagain and again �roughout your seni� year and wi� o�erapplications to co�ege, club/�ganization, scholarships, s��ities, etc.5. Some �ink you should wear �e same col� in your picture as �ecol� dress you would like to have if chosen. O�ers �ink you should
wear whatever you are going to wear in �e interview to make a mem�able impression. Thechoice is yours!
6. You should read current events daily! Also, watch �e local and national news. It is easiest f�some people to watch �e news in �e m�ning as �ey are getting dressed. The 5:30 p.m. nationalnews should give you enough inf�mation on �e nationalscene…..you do not have to watch CNN/MSNBC/Fox News.www.dailybeast.com (also an app), www.�eskimm.com (emaillist and app), www.ye�owhammernews.com
7. Instagram and Facebook are great resources fo�ow May�Sandy Stimpson, Mobile Rundown, Fav�ite Restaurants, F�tColonial of Mobile, LODA, Mobile Museum, etc.
8. F�m a study group wi� �e o�er girls trying out. Having astudy group a�ows you to review �e material, plan group outings
to places and events around Mobile, and make new friends!
