When introducing yourself, make sure to include your full name, nickname, major, year, and where you're from. This provides the interviewers with the necessary background information about you.

How should you respond when asked about your strengths in a campus organization interview?

Tailor your strengths to the specific needs of the organization. For example, if the organization requires design skills, you can mention your ability to work with design software or your experience in graphic design.

Before the interview, research the organization’s mission, activities, structure, and leadership. Mention specific tasks or initiatives the organization is involved in and express your enthusiasm by engaging with their social media.

What should you highlight when discussing your previous organizational experience?

Talk about the organizations you've been involved in, your role, the level at which you participated, and most importantly, your contributions and achievements. If you don't have prior experience, highlight relevant skills gained through other activities like projects or competitions.
