面试以小组评估开始, 看看我们能和别人合作得多好, then we had individual interviews with two people within Ford Credit, 最后参观了商务中心.”
McKayla credits Converse’s faculty for helping her prepare for this opportunity. “I believe that without the help of numerous different people at Converse, including Dr. Young and the entire business department, an opportunity like this would not have been possible. I will forever be grateful to everyone at Converse who helped prepare me for the next stage in life.”
杰奎琳·托雷斯 also credits her time at Converse for preparing her both a professionally and personally for this opportunity. 作为万博地址目前的模型万博下载ios首席代表, Jacqueline was well prepared for the group exercise aspect of the interview process. “I felt that this was my time to shine,” Jacqueline said. “I believe I really showcased my ability to communicate effectively, problem solve, and mediate.”
I am thankful to my professors for encouraging me to take a chance and explore outside my comfort zone.
Jacqueline explained that the candidates were 给n a case study prior to flying out to Nashville. They were advised to be ready to discuss and debate their approach to the case study issue and develop a solution within small groups. “Converse College has been essential in my development as a leader, Jacqueline said. “I noticed how the men interviewing were aggressive but not really good mediators, 其中一些女性是解决问题的高手, 但不一定是优秀的沟通者. I believe I had the skills and confidence to be a bridge between the two. This is not the career plan I originally planned to take, but I am thankful to my professors for encouraging me to take a chance and explore outside my comfort zone.”

Alexis also praises her participation in 模型万博下载ios for helping her prepare for the interview. 她说, “Converse was absolutely amazing in preparing me – first by giving me the opportunity to 应用, but also by having Model League to help with how I could debate, 为我的想法辩护, 单独面试, which were the core elements of the Talent Competition.
没有模特联赛 & Dr. 邓恩, I would not have been able to defend my changes I brought forth for the simulation, nor would I feel as comfortable standing alone in front of people wanting to hire me. Being a math major also helped me bring a more analytical side to the normal business-speak – every single person I competed against was some form of business major, 而我是数学 & 计算机科学. 同时,, Converse gave me the opportunity to be a social media and marketing intern for their admissions department, which gave me valuable knowledge in how I could be an asset to Ford with marketing, 尤其是对年轻一代.”
