"I have a Bachelor's Degree in Criminal Justice from Michigan State University. I would say the courses I struggled with the most would be the computing classes, as I was not technically savvy back then. My best course was Victimology, which I found incredibly interesting and in-depth. It taught me about strategy and compassion while working with victims of crime. Since graduating, I have taken additional coursework in computers and a variety of software programs, so I am now confident in my technical abilities."

While not a necessary requirement for every department, if you have completed higher education, the interviewer may ask about the best course you took in your post-secondary studies. This information can help them assess how well you may fit into the role and how you can contribute to the team. They may also want to understand how you overcame any challenges you faced in your academic journey and how you applied what you learned to other areas of your life. Remember to be honest and provide examples that showcase your skills and abilities.
