Campus Interview

Sell yourself!

Arrive on time. Be 15 minutes early.
Dress the part. Your clothing and appearance make their own statement about who you are.
Be polite to the receptionist and any office staff.
When you enter, introduce yourself, and greet the coach with a firm handshake and a smile.
Maintain eye contact and body language that says, “I'm interested and alert.”
Don't eat, drink or chew gum during the interview – even if you're offered something to eat or drink.
Speak succinctly, and use proper English.
Relax!
Stay grounded. You're visiting the school to be part of a team – not a standout.
Stand tall and be positive. Be confident, not cocky.
Always be honest.
Above all else, just be yourself.
Send a thank-you note. You can be sure that not all the prospects will take the time to say thanks.
