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 shoud 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.

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! With the help of CACS, we will be discussing how to apply non-leadership experiences to these leadership roles, developing well rounded short answers, and interview tips, along with how to answer questions from a leadership perspective and talk through similar themes and questions across all three applications. This workshop will focus more on the interview aspects of each application process.
- Our next workshop will be on Wednesday, January 18 from 5-6pm in Pryz 321/323. We ask that you come to the workshop having reviewed your applications of interest, bring any application materials for you to reference and review, and with any questions you have about the process. We will also have members of each student leader position and their department available to answer questions and provide any additional information not covered at Student Leader Info Night! For questions and accommodations, please email oca-leadership@cua.edu.
