Intel interviews

[erinbynight]

I just had my intel interview and I think I did really really well, considering the fact that I had a lot of questions put to me that I was not expecting. I was asked on subjects ranging from my mother's divorce to why we weren't invading Korea. Luckily, I felt like i'd been singled out in my politics class and had answers for everything. He was a liberal and I am a conservative, which I found out to my dismay after I had answered an array of political questions. He told me he doesn't hold it against me and that I argued my points well. Bottom line, if your going for an interview, you can be asked anything basically. Just prepare a few answers to questions about becoming a naval officer and about general politics, and relax and give clear answers. PM me if you have specific questions. Thanks siriena.

Hi there!

I am glad I could help, although it seems that your interview was a great deal more formal than mine. I don't know if I would have had answers to questions about Korea. I understand what you mean by liberal/conservative. I am a liberal, but I could tell that the Lt. Cmdr. was trying to gauge which side I am inclined to lean toward. Some comments made me think he was too. Others made me think the opposite. I decided not to worry too much about that. After all we are trying to serve the same country. But I am glad that yours went well. I think it is great that he was willing to judge you based on the merits of your arguments rather than your political leanings. Way to go!!
