Guidelines

In preparation for your interview, write out your response to each interview question. The right length for interview answers is 30 seconds to 2 minutes and up to 3 minutes for scenario questions. Use the guidelines below to help you keep your responses to the right length.

  • Answers to simple factual questions should be the shortest. For instance, the answer to “Where did you get your Bachelor’s?” can be less than 30 seconds.
  • Answers to more complex or multi-layer questions like “What was your favorite project?” should be a minute and possibly up to two because you need to explain why it was your favorite.
  • A scenario or behavior question like “Give me an example of when you worked on a complicated project. Describe your approach to successfully completing that task” could take three minutes.

So how does this translate to text since you’ll write your responses? On average, one speaks 150 words per minute (WPM). So 30 seconds = 75 words, 2 minutes = 300 words, and 3 minutes = 450 words.

Discussion Posts

For your initial post

  1. List each question and share your answer.
  2. At the end of your answer provide the word count in brackets. Example: [157 words].
  3. Keep it tidy! Delete my directions and resource suggestions.
  4. Keep it conversational like you are speaking, but do cite sources! Use APA format like this:

Example 1: Blah blah blah (DASH, 2020). Blah blah blah (Steiner et al., 2019)

OR

Example 2: According to DASH (2020), blah blah blah. Per Steiner et al. (2019), blah blah blah
