The Rules

for Mia

Abide by these rules, or you will be flung into a dungeon for six hundred years

Always give examples

It is no good simply saying you like a subject, or you are a kind person. You need to prove it!Giving examples also helps provide detail in your answers and demonstrate your knowledge of different topics.

• Use your general knowledge or what you have learned in school
• Use the List
• You should give examples for almost every question!

Never give up

Sometimes you will find it difficult to give an answer to a question.You must never end your answer early - always give ideas and try.Even if you have to slightly exaggerate or add to a story or fact about you.

• Use examples to help show your thinking
• Ask follow-up questions if stuck
• Use your List!

Be positive

This is perhaps the most important rule, because the interview is a personal conversation - they want to see you like them and are enthusiastic!Even questions that seem to invite a negative response ('What is your least favourite subject'?) can be answered positively

• Do not be too honest
• Focus on how you fix problems
• Show positive body language
