Questions to expect during an interview

[Anoushka]

For those of you who have been in an interview, could you please speak to the structure of an interview?

What were the first moments like?

What was your first question?

Was there anything as broad as 'tell me a little about yourself'? or 'tell me about your general interests'?

Did they ask you personal questions (''what other stuff interests you")?

***Did they ask you specifics about your subject of interest (i.e., In the Adorno you just discussed, you mentioned his concept of the non-identical. How do you think this functions with respect to his work on freedom?)??

Did they ask you if you have questions for the program?

What was then end of the interview like?

Although all interviews are different, I thought it might be helpful for interview veterans to say a few questions that they were asked, and especially questions that caught you off guard, surprised you. And questions that you think would be generally good to prepare for.

Thanks so much!
