| I did the same interview with Arlen Specter on the same day. The next day I had to drive to Harrisburg and interview with Sen. Casey's board. To me, it was a matter of taking a deep breath before I walked in, and assured myself that everything would be fine. Specter's board nailed me with the exact same questions, and I honestly felt that I answered them all the best way I knew how. Casey's board presented many similar questions, but one sticks out in my mind...
If you could change one event in history, what would it be and why?
That almost tripped me up, but I thought back to many of my History lessons, and after buying some time by telling them my opinion that I wouldnt wanna change a success for they always do our nation good, but at the same time a tragedy or deisaster teaches us lessons in which we learn to prevent future disasters, I told the board straight up, World War I, and I went with it, and they told me it was both an interesting and clever answer. Just relax and be who you know you are, the moment you begin to hesitate, the easier it is for them to see it, and they will break you down. |
