Before the interview, be sure to have read the job description several times, so you are well prepared. Pick out a few of the desired qualifications that you possess and share with the interviewer why you would make a great fit as the school's next student advisor. Now is the time to share something specific that will make you stand out amongst the crowd of applicants. Instead of saying something like 'I enjoy working with students,' dig deeper for a reason you'll be successful in this role that is unique to you. Sharing something personal and unique will leave a lasting impression on the interviewer.

"I am the best candidate because my student advisor impacted me, and I want to be the same safe space for other students. For me, it goes much deeper than ensuring students are enrolled in classes and graduate on time. The college years are formative, and having committed, trusted adults on campus who students can turn to in times of need is crucial. I am ready and so excited to take on that challenge and impact generations to come in this role."
