lol
how did you handle the interview question "why did you choose xxx public high school"?
I really hated when they asked that question. My standard response was to tell them that I preferred walking to school as opposed to taking the bus. I realize that is sensitive, as that can imply that you are less willing to deal with both a potential for increased exposure to diversity and social situations which will help you develop as a character (walking is intrinsically isolationist).
Hope this helps.
Thoughtfully, Booger
If it could advance my career in any way, shape or form, then sure.
Did you go to college? If so, where did you go? If not, are you the heir of JNJ or is your father Steve Cohen?
My dad went to Rutgers. I go to a non-target (think Wisco/Ohio State/Michigan).
take me through the hiring process please. applied online? BB do not have events at those schools.
I applied online and followed up by googling associates of the groups I wanted to work at and contacting them directly.

What's your main leadership position on campus? Girl Scout Cookies marketing director?
I am chairman of the modeling club and co-chair of the finance committee.
No offence, but these sound like pretty dry extracurriculars. What do you do for fun?
is this a joke
I don't know what is going on.
Can't tell if serious...
I have a pulse. Ask me anything!
Ok this is getting absurd.
Ask me anything raised by welfare mom to target nyc kindergarten.
