Help.

The organisation I volunteer for is having their AGM this Thursday. And I've been asked to do an interview about my volunteer experience for the AGM, which will also be recorded for the weekly podcast. Yikes. Luckily, I have a copy of the potential questions:

a. What are your volunteer roles?
b. Why did you first get involved?
c. What keeps you engaged?
d. What would you say to someone who's thinking of volunteering?
e. What's your most inspirational volunteer experience?

If anyone has some advice, by all means, pass it along. I is nervous.

What works for me is having a mock interview at home with my husband. Sometimes I also tape record my interview so that I can go back and listen to it and make necessary changes in my responses.

Practice. Practice. Practice...

i'm too late to help (sorry about that!) but i totally agree with sophie... thinking about how you can answer these questions in succint, yet vivid ways is important. practice your answers in different ways, and see how they sound. get comfortable with the general idea of what you want to say, so that it seems more conversational and natural when it really happens. i'm sure you were great!!
