What kind of preparation did you do for this interview?
Be honest! Share that you practiced answering sample interview questions, read the company website, and reviewed the job description again before arriving. If you researched the agency on LinkedIn or other social media websites, be sure to mention this as well.
"I have been very excited about this meeting as your organization is the leader in this community. I do my research and I read a lot about your organization, the mission it carries out and the people it serves, in preparation for this interview. I like how you take an approach to utilize social media, despite the industry, to educate the public about criminal statistics and mental health."
Community answers are written by other candidates practicing this set. Reading how others frame the same question is one of the fastest ways to sharpen your own.

I prepared for this interview by looking up what the duties and responsibilities are of a parole officer. I also looked up mock interview questions so that I would be better able to answer any questions that you may have.

Good answer! It's great that you researched the job duties of a parole officer and practiced answering interview questions. You might also consider mentioning that you thought about and pinpointed which hard and soft skills you possess that align with the needs of the position, in addition to looking into the company/organization.
