Congressional Interview

[Holden100]

Yes, it's a lot. And yesterday, he was my navigator, he was advising me of a wreck up ahead in 4 lanes of interstate travel. I slowed when I saw brake lights, semi behind me not so much, I hit my hazards hugged the right line, we were under a massive overpass and heard a horrific sound, like a semi overhead dropping a load of steel, I ducked, he said 'look out' and a car slid past me on the left and came to a halt when it collided with the car in front of them, who had hit the car in front of them. It was millimeters from us. I looked back, a semi had hit another semi who hit the car that narrowly missed us. Needless to say I was a bit jittery the rest of the drive to Phoenix, which has some pretty horrific drivers. We made it safely, and will attempt it again Friday. Someone was lookin' out for us, he would have missed the non reschedulable interview.

Safe travels to you this Friday!

NJ Senatorials are not in front of a large panel. I've been a Senatorial Interviewer for many years and the panels are generally two or three people. Each Candidate normally gets interviewed twice on their interview day by two separate panels who each "score" the interview.

Had ours yesterday. Two interviews in front of two interviewers. Thank you. We used your advice and worked with our school the week leading up to the interviews for mock 2/1 interviews. Really helped prepare him well. Thank you!

Hello all,

I just had an interview over the phone with a Senator from my state's nomination committee. The call came out of the blue and caught me off guard. I answered all of the questions honestly, which I believe is the best anyone can do ever. I was told I articulated well, but I don't feel so confident about the interview. If anyone has insight or suggestions or anything at all, that would be great.

Thank you all!

Congratulations on getting a call at all. There were so many applicants in our state our daughter never even got a call so stay positive.

The call came out of the blue and caught me off guard.

Have you thought of calling the number back that called you to see where it came from ?

I know there are 535 different ways to have a MOC interview, but I would not have answered a random phone call... so much telemarketing these days : /

It was 6 hours round trip for 15 minute interview and will do it again this Friday for next senator interview. ... Now we wait.

Holy Cow, Heather....I'm embarrassed to have complained about our drives 90 minutes north and south for Senators. Wish we could have a collective Moms' night out for all of us in WAIT mode. We need to clink glasses of wine!

my son had to purchase an airline ticket for his congressional interview. he asked for a skype /phone interview and was told no (he is in college about 6 hour drive from MOC office and has no car at school so driving wasnt an option). he flew in and had to pay for hotel too. interview was 25 minutes and then he flew right back to school. nomination call was received 4 days later
