Interview Tips
Interviews are up to 45 minutes in length
Darden’s interviews are anonymous, which means that your interviewer will not have read your application or resume prior to the interview.
Your interviewer will not come to this interaction with a lot of formed expectations about who you are, your strengths or weaknesses or any other thoughts about your candidacy.
Practice, practice, practice! While our conversational interview approach is intended to give applicant's an opportunity to share their story, there will be a lot you are going to want to accomplish in a relatively limited amount of time. A little practice with your narrative can go a long way!
