ESB IB: The Interview

So you have successfully sent in your ESB application and got an interview? Congratulations! If you're feeling a bit nervous about your upcoming interview, whether in person or Skype, don't worry! We've provided you some tips to help you rock your interview.

1. Research! Although you may already know some information about ESB, check out the website and other resources such as the Facebook page and blog. Find out what makes ESB so awesome and what you want to be involved with when you start your education here.

2. Practice! Speak with an English speaking friend or relative, or watch some English movies, TV shows, or Youtube videos. The more you practice your English, the more confident you will be in your interview.

3. Visit! If possible, visit the campus before hand or arrive early and walk around. It is a great way to get a feeling for the campus and ESB itself. Also check out the city of Reutlingen to get an idea of what living here is like.

4. Prepare! If you are interviewing on campus, arrive early to make sure you can locate the buildings and rooms in enough time. If you are doing a Skype interview, make sure your internet and Skype are working before hand, and that you have added the correct ESB account.

5. Be yourself! You want to be selected because you are truly a good match for the school. Be honest with your answers and confident in your interview, so both you and the school can get a feeling if it is a good match.

With these helpful tips and some preparation on your part, we are sure you can succeed in your interview. Remember, every student in IB has had to go through this, so if you're a little nervous, you're not alone. Be excited for this great opportunity, and we can’t wait to meet you!
