Foster Interview

by Helen

Yesterday was my interview at Foster. It was conducted by an Associate Director and she was wonderful. She is an immigrant, who has experience on the Hill as a lobbyist, has  traveled the world, has a 2 year old baby and another one on the way. I really felt that I connected with her and would love to have her as a mentor (or someone like her).

I'm not sure how well I did on the questions necessarily (especially the career goals one, since it's the one I think I keep struggling with), but I was very honest and I think she got to get a feel for my personality (for better or for worse).

I stressed that I would love to go to Foster and it would be helpful in order to stay in the Northwest and get a job.  She offered me a person to talk to about my international travel interests.

Overall, I think it well, though now I am over-thinking it and worrying about it.

It is nice to be most likely done with interviews, as it seems that Berkeley and Stanford ones aren't coming my way.  So now I just wait.
