One more question! Where did you guys take your interviews? Did you do it at home or did you go somewhere else? Trying to figure out what would be most professional...

I had mine in my room. As long as you dont have anything inappropriate in view you should be fine. They're very good at making you feel comfortable.

My interview went super well y’all! Better than I expected I don’t really feel comfortable posting about it in detail but feel free to message me if you want to hear about it!

To the people who have been interviewed already too, do you just randomly catch yourself replaying everything you said in your mind and get worried because it feels like you could've said more HAHAHA

Every god damn day.

I was so nervous during it I forgot to mention that I also wanted to highlight queer spaces and experiences within where I grew up (Hong Kong) and now im like, do I email them and be like "hey forgot to mention that I'm not straight" LOL

I try not to think too much about the answers I gave because I did my best. The hardest part for me is being left in the dark for another month or so...

I submitted mine. I feel pretty confident this year compared to last. If anyone wants to swap A confrontation urls just for shits and giggles, do message me

Hey there! I also applied twice. I'd like to swap my URLs with you! But I didn’t receive an interview this year.

I got three more views this week on my "Confrontation" video submission, after my interview! Hoping that's a good sign..

 

[runningupthathill]

Did anyone send a thank you note? If so, how was it received? I don’t wanna invade my interviewers privacy but maybe there’s a proper way to do this

I did, yes. I emailed Jill and asked her for my interviewers’ email addresses. She responded telling me they don’t disclose them, but that she’d be happy to forward my thank you note to them. So I wrote a quick letter to my interviewers and sent them to Jill! So you could skip the intermediate step and just ask Jill to forward your note to your interviewers directly
