Excellent post, @6teenSearch!

I think its worth reiterating the point of having at least 3 solid questions to ask, questions which can’t be answered by looking at the website.

If the applicant is more introverted and very uncomfortable about the idea of interviewing, a mock interview with a family friend can be helpful. I did that for a friend’s son who did not do well the first go around. I also gave him a list of potential interview questions for him to think about. He wasn’t scripted in terms of answers but it took a little of the anxiety away for him. The next year, he had great success.

In the tour, encourage the applicant to be up with the tour guide as opposed to mom and dad and encourage the applicant to ask questions of the tour guide as well.
