Konichiwa! I'm back again, reader-sans! Yes, my date with the Girl Scout council is looming ever closer (as in, tomorrow at 6:00 for anyone who needs a refresher), so I thought I'd do a little preparation beforehand.
What I've done, since it's been so long since I sent in my paperwork, is I looked over the copies I made of the paperwork and re-familiarized myself with it. I also went back over my sketches, measurements, photographs of pertinent spaces, and written plans. From what I have been able to glean from my research and interrogations of other girls who have had their interviews already, you want to make sure you know your plans backward, forward, and anywhere in between. If the council questions you about any part of your project, you should be able to explain it easily. I'll be able to comment more on that after my interview, and I'll probably post again tomorrow to let you guys know how an interview should go down.
Another piece of information that's important to know before going into an interview is this: the council wants you to be in full uniform. That means your vest, a white shirt, and khaki pants or skirt. I am planning on wearing a khaki skirt because I hate khaki so I'm having to borrow my mom's clothes for that part and the skirt was more forgiving on my smaller hips, but you don't have to wear a skirt if that's not your thing. Also, I've been told that your vest does not have to be updated, so if you're like me who has just recently joined a new troop and is either too busy or too lazy to sew on the new patches, you don't have to worry about it! As far as the rest of your appearance goes, I'd probably follow the same rules as goes for any other kind of interview. Just make sure you look presentable and keep in mind any more modern fashion trends that may be offensive to older generations. How you look plays a huge part in how well an interview goes.
Well, I think that's all I have to say for today, so I guess I'll be signing off for now. Wish me luck! And, as always, keep on rockin' and rollin'!
