Wardrobe
for this interview is business attire (suit, dress or pant suit). Subtle
jewelry only. Make-up should be natural and attractive. Judges will only be a short distance away.
The interview lasts 9 minutes and 30 seconds. At the end of that
timeframe, a final question of “Is there
anything we have not asked you that you would like to comment on or clarify?”
will be asked. This segment allows for issues that may not have been
discussed.
Be
yourself, show your personality and have fun. The judges are there to get
to know you. Let them know your knowledge and opinions. Avoid
rambling or repeating yourself. If you do not know an answer, do not make
one up.
Practice
using a well modulated voice. Use a
video camera or tape recorder to practice. Develop a larger
vocabulary. Replace slang with words that are mature and specific to your
feelings. Learn to express your own ideas. Interview with your
family, friends and others … this will help you to develop skills that will
prepare you for the interview and last a lifetime.
This
interview is not a test to see if you know everything. It is a conversation. It is very
important that you have the ability to converse with the judges. They
will be listening to your answers, but they will also be observing your mental
awareness, vocabulary, voice, personal knowledge, personal appearance and
personality.
Become
aware of community, state, nation and world events. Watch the news, read
the newspaper and view the internet. The only way to form an opinion is
to have the facts gleaned from educating yourself. Know who you
are.
Remember
you are interviewing for a unique job. This is an opportunity for the
judges to learn as much as possible about you, your qualities, and attributes
to represent the community as Miss Heart of Utah.

the audience get to know you, and will help remind the judges of your
interview.
