Nan begins to offer students suggestions for the preparation, performance, and follow up to a successful interview for a job, internship, college admittance, and a financial aid appeal. Nan’s suggestions include research on the company you’re applying for a job, questions to ask your interviewer, standing and sitting posture during the interview, a firm handshake, good eye contact, saying ‘yes’ rather than ‘yeah’ or other slang, and, then, following the interview, writing a ‘thank you’ email with perfect spelling and good sentence structure, grammar and punctuation.
