Matching dreams with dollars Part one

Before you walk into any interview, you need to review every part of your application.

That’s because your interviewers will have a copy of your application. If there is a blank, or an unclear answer, they may well have a question for you. In the C-CAP interview, they’ll also have a copy of your essay as they interview you.

If you’ve reviewed your application, you’ll know what to expect. Even better, if you’ve reviewed your essay, you’ll remember what you wrote – and be able to think about why you wrote it.

Because the judges want to match your dreams with the dollars they have to award, you can expect to be asked if you’ve had a chance to consider more than one school.

You may be asked if you’ve toured specific schools, and you will definitely be asked if you’ve thought about how you will live while you’re in school.

If you’re thinking about Johnson and Wales, for instance, they may want to know how you plan to travel to school.

How will you live while you’re in school? Have you lived away from home before? Will you need a part-time job?

Do you have other financial resources? Do you need transportation? What about school supplies (not just your books)?

Your C-CAP interviewers want to know you’ve spent some time figuring out this next step in your culinary career. Next time, we’ll have some more information about how to do your best in this part of the competition.
