Leadership Application and Interview Support
Leadership Application and Interview Prompts
- Applying for a leadership position and not sure how to prepare? Leading as a Cardinal has you covered! We have compiled a list of 15 prompts that you should use to reflect on your leadership development. Many of these prompts (or a version of them) are commonly found on leadership applications, so these prompts will allow you to think about answering questions through a leadership lens and be better prepared for applications and interviews. To view the prompts, click here.
Apply Yourself! Workshop
- Are you applying to be an Orientation Advisor, Resident Assistant or Student Minister? Attend our leadership workshop for a complete guide to student leader applications and interviews! We will be discussing how to apply non-leadership experiences to these leadership roles and developing well rounded short answers along with how to answer questions from a leadership perspective and talk through similar themes and questions across all three applications.
- The first workshop will be held on November 6th from 5-6pm in the Nest. This workshop will focus more on the application portion of the process, but it will mention interview tips as well for those choosing to complete early interviews. RSVP here.
- The second workshop will be held on January 16th from 6-7pm in the Nest. This workshop will focus more on the interview portion. We will complete a mock interview, complete a team player assessment, and help with final interview preparations! RSVP here.
