Interview Questions

Interview questions for an entry level financial aid administrator:

Are you insane?

Did you read the job description?

Again, are you insane?

Have you ever been diagnosed with an Obsessive Compulsive Disorder?

            Are you taking medication for that disorder?

            If offered the position, are you willing to reduce or quit that medication?

Do you enjoy working in an environment where your questions will usually be answered with the statement "it depends"?

Do you enjoy reading the Federal Register?

            If yes, again, are you insane?

Do you know anyone who has aspired, as a child, to work in a musty basement with poor lighting, explaining to young adults that they are not likely meet their educational goal of being a brain surgeon, considering they have a cumulative GPA of 1.6?

            Are you that person?

How do you feel about earning less than someone who stands at a table handing out publications and explaining why the school's tennis team is outstanding?

Do you love your family?

            Do you want a believable excuse for not seeing your family?

Interviews with me can be fun.
