If you’re going into healthcare and say your passion is helping people make sure to expand on why healthcare is your choice of helping. You can help people in many ways but why healthcare specifically? If you’re a public health major maybe say you have the passion for protecting people through laws. Be specific. Good luck! I know you’ll do great

Why are you interested in criminology? Tell the interviewer why you want to study that subject. Do you enjoy the process of investigating things and solving puzzles? If so, say that during your interview. Then talk about any experience you have related to that interest. Have you done any projects, taken any classes, or had any jobs in which you had to investigate things? Do you read crime books or watch crime shows? If so, talk about that. I hope that helps.

[@urmomsah0e476]

u can say : i have had psychology as one of my biggest interest through out my (period of time), as i was driven towards ( definition of psychology) how a person thinks and i have always loved helping people, but unfortunately i have never gotten the chance to put my curiosity to test yet, and that is why i’m looking forward into studying in your program as i found it fitting with me and can help me start my journey in studying psychology. im a computer science major lmao, so u can fix some stuff that’s related to psychology, i hope this helped

[@blazevich]

I agree with Bloopy Boop. You could start by saying you have a passion for understanding how people think. Then talk about any books you've read, classes you've taken, organizations you're in, or other "experience" you have learning about how people think. Finish by saying you'd like to study psychology and pursue a career that involves learning about how people think and helping people. Does that help?

For engineering, you could start by saying you have a PASSION for solving challenging problems or for designing things. Then explain any EXPERIENCES you have doing that. Have you completed any science fair or design projects? Have you taken classes or read books about solving problems or designing things? If so, talk about those experiences. Finally, tell the interviewer what you want to do NEXT, which is study engineering at their school. I hope that helps. Good luck with your interview.

[@blazevich]

Good question. What is it about journalism that appeals to you? Is it following a story to get to the truth, is it telling a story that connects with people, is it helping people learn more about the world around them, or is it something else. As a future journalist, you can do some research about what journalists do, and figure out which aspect of the job appeals to you most. Then use that aspect as your passion. I hope that helps. Good luck with your interview. I hope it goes well.

Thank you Richard, this helps a lot. I'm actually having online interview soon (cause of covid) I'm taking civil engineering. Can you give me tips and advice? Do's and don'ts while having online interview

[@blazevich]

Good question. For engineering, you could say you have a passion for designing things or for solving complicated problems. Engineers need to do both of these things. After stating your passion, talk about any experience you have designing things or solving complicated problems. Have you completed any design projects, taken classes that require to solve difficult problems, etc.? If so, talk about those experiences. Then end by saying what you want to do next. Hopefully you want to go to their school, study engineering, and become an engineer so you can pursue your passion. For dos and don'ts, focus on your passion for learning. Don't spend too much time talking about your recreational interests. The person interviewing you wants to hear why you'd make a good engineer, not what you do to enjoy yourself in your spare time. I hope that helps. Good luck with your interview.
