During college, how did you spend your
summer vacations?
"During
college, how did you spend your summer vacations?"
The best answer is to have spent your summer productively such as working as an
intern. Even if you did only one intern, the interviewer will like that. The
worst answer is to say you didn't do anything. Or say you worked in the
supermarket to get some money so you can party at night. So think of something productive,
and if you don't have an intern experience, you can say that you spent your
summer learning something new.
"My
last two summers of college, I did an intern for a consulting firm. I gained
experience working on office solutions for large companies."
"I
have a strong interest in traveling, so I used my summer to travel. I went to
Europe, Australia, Brazil, and China."
"Every
summer, I took extra English classes. I also took some drawing classes because
it's one of my hobbies. So I spent my summers learning more things."
"My
first two summers, I had to work to save money for tuition. But after saving
enough money, I had a free summer. I actually ended up taking some computer
classes to prepare myself for the business world. These days it's a requirement
to know computers, so I prepared for that."
Although I said don't mention useless work, it is ok if it is for tuition. It
shows financial responsibility. Finally, taking some computer classes for the
summer is a great way to prepare for work life and it was a summer well spent.
Make sure you have an answer that shows productivity. |
