Interview season can feel intense, especially in school psychology where you’re often sitting in front of a full panel and being asked to explain complex, real world work on the spot.

In this episode, I’m sharing three practical tips to help you feel clear, confident, and prepared whether you’re interviewing for internship, your first job, or a new district.

We’ll talk about how to answer “tell us about yourself” without rambling, why your closing questions matter more than you think, and what to do when you genuinely don’t know an answer. You don’t need to be perfect. You just need to show how you think.
