1. Be professional.  While we are not looking for you to arrive in a suit, it certainly makes a statement when someone takes the interview seriously and looks nice.  Think about the image you want to portray while asking to be hired for a job.
2. Relax.  You are not meeting the President of the United States or the Queen of England.  We are just current and former Herzl campers/staff/board members who are trying to get to know you.
3. Be passionate.  Tell us why you love children, what it is that brings you back to Herzl year after year, and why being an Ozo is so important to you.
4. Be yourself.  We want to meet YOU… the person who loves Herzl as much as we do.  Don’t tell us what we want to hear, but tell us your honest answers.
5. Have confidence.  We are looking for young adults who can confidently work with children, so don’t second-guess yourself.  Be confident and be positive.
6. Follow directions.  If there is a deadline to get your application in, meet it.  If, when you arrive at the office, there is a sign telling you to sit in the chair and wait for us to come get you… sit in the chair and wait.  Don’t come strolling into the office.
7. Be on time.  Did anyone else notice that this is… #7, be on time?!?!  Okay sorry, that was a flashback moment.  But truly, be on time for your interview.  Better yet, be early so that when we are ready to go, you are all set as well.
8. Have fun!  Herzl Camp is about having fun, so while your interview should be serious, you should also feel free to have fun with us.

And with that, I wish the 2011 Ozrim candidates, good luck!  I look forward to meeting all of you!
