Preparing for THE Job Interview Tomorrow

Tomorrow is a big day. I am interviewing at SMU for the best job I could ask for at this point in my life. It is one I didn’t think I’d qualify for, but they still asked for an interview. I’m getting nervous. I’ve done my research on the program and understand the job posting, but so many questions still remain.

Can I do this? Am I ready for this? Can I keep an open mind so I’m sure if I get the job that I want to work there? How do I keep from rambling? What can I expect? Will this be a firing squad of questions? What if I don’t know the answers to some of the questions? What if they ask questions I’m supposed to know the answers to but I have no clue? Does that mean I’m not ready to be a Health Educator? Does that mean my degree really is worthless?

I know I’m only psyching myself out, but my biggest fear is that they’ll ask me questions I’m supposed to know but don’t. Things like “Using the health belief model, how would you assess person A’s readiness to comply with a program? And what tailored program would you create for said person?” Or what if they spurt off terms I don’t know?

I’m hoping this is way less stressful than I am anticipating. It just feels like my whole degree is on the line. I really want this job and feel like I could do great things with it. This passion to educate college students about health topics is new but strong. I have a fear of failing…

7 months, 10 1/2 days!
