- Why do you enjoy working with kids
I have been thinking about becoming a Big Sister and Ive been reading that they ask you some very personal questions in the interview… curious, what are these questions exactly? Like your sex life and drug use?
I use to smoke weed regularly at one point in college, but now Im just not into it anymore and rarely do it. I dont have an addictive personality or anything. And I do think weed is helpful with creativity and relieving anxiety. However, my philosophy about weed is similar to alcohol: good way to enjoy yourself, etc., but should be used in moderation, and only by adults. As far as alcohol goes, I had my wild days when I was younger, but now its been a while that I literally cannot remember the last time I got drunk, Its not a state of being that I enjoy so Im very responsible with the stuff. Realistically, how much of this should I disclose? I would hate if normal stuff like this would bar me from this program because I love kids and I think I would be a great mentor.
What is a “Big”?
Example: “I’ve always wanted to be a teacher, but I also love working with kids. When I saw Big Brothers Big Sisters was hiring, I knew it would be the perfect opportunity to combine my two passions. I’m excited to help children learn and grow while building meaningful relationships with mentors.”
Example: “I prefer to work on my own because I am very independent and motivated. However, I understand that sometimes it’s beneficial to collaborate with a team. In the past, I’ve worked as part of a team to complete projects for school or work. I find that I’m good at contributing ideas and communicating with others.”
Example: “In my last role as an executive director for a nonprofit organization, I had five full-time staff members and several volunteers who helped with fundraising events and community outreach programs. I relied on my communication skills to keep everyone informed about our goals and objectives. I also held weekly meetings where we discussed our progress and any challenges we faced.”
Example: “I use several tools to stay organized. I have an online calendar where I keep track of all my appointments and meetings. I also use a task management app to create lists for each project or assignment I need to complete. This helps me stay on top of what needs to be done and when it should be completed by.”
Example: “I’ve worked in several positions where I was one of the most experienced employees, but also in situations where I was the least experienced employee. In both cases, I’m always happy to learn new things and help my coworkers learn as well. I find it helpful to ask questions when I don’t understand something or offer advice when someone asks for it.”
