The time spent with us is designed to be informative and enjoyable. The interview is a professional exchange of information.

The Zoom links will be sent to you three days before your interview. The times listed are in the Pacific Time Zone.<\/p>\n<p>You will also be invited to join a pre-interview Ambassador Social.

They will give you time to ask questions at the end of the interview.<\/li>\n<li>Have a pen and notepad ready in case you need to take notes.<\/li>\n<li>Get a good night\u2019s sleep so your body and mind are refreshed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Technology<\/h3>\n<p><strong>On Online Interview Day you will need the following:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A stable internet connection<\/li>\n<li>A computer or tablet with a good webcam and microphone. A mobile phone may be used if your mobile data connection is more stable than your internet connection. You will need a phone stand of some sort to keep your phone from moving. Use a device that will not accept phone calls during the interview, a phone call will disrupt the interview and may cause you to lose your focus.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Conduct a Technology Check<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/zoom.us\/test\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Check your microphone and camera<\/a> to make sure they are working well, and the picture and sound are good quality.<\/li>\n<li>Check your internet speed, you can do this at SpeedTest.net. Sometimes switching from Wi-Fi to a wired Ethernet connection improves your internet speed. If your home\u2019s internet connection is too slow, consider using a private study room at a library or a private room at your school or other location with a stable Wi-Fi.<\/li>\n<li>Practice positioning the camera at eye level so that you look directly at your interviewers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Setting Up<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Allow time before the interview starts to conduct a last-minute technology check:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Double check your microphone and camera to make sure they are working well.<\/li>\n<li>Position your camera and microphone to obtain a clear video and audio.<\/li>\n<li>Shut down all programs on your device so that no alerts, notifications, or other electronic interruptions distract you.<\/li>\n<li>Make sure your device is fully changed. Have a charger with you and make sure you can plug into an outlet in case there is a problem with your battery.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Location<\/h3>\n<p>Identify a private, quiet, well-lit space where you can complete the interview by yourself, free of potential distractions, and where you can speak freely. Make sure you have control over the background noise and activity, so avoid open or shared spaces.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Avoid having light sources directly behind you because they will cast a shadow on you.
