Prepare and Practice
Residential Education selection philosophy is rooted in targeted selection (behavior-based interviewing.) Candidates who are invited to interview will be asked a series of behavior-based questions. To best prepare for interviews, candidates should review these helpful resources on behavior-based interviewing:

Candidates have the option to utilize the Residential Education's mock interview via Standout Mock Interview practice tool. Candidates can log into StandOut via their Handshake account and will find StandOut in the Resources section. Candidates will record themselves responding to pre-recorded interview questions, can watch and re-record. Candidates can submit their recorded interviews to the selection committee for feedback. Please note that the option for feedback is limited.
