So I got a Jeopardy audition for this Wednesday after taking the online test in January. My problem is, I can't think of 5 interesting things about myself! I can think of things about other people, like Catie being so much younger or about Dad and Mike going to Iraq again in the same unit, or Dave getting a job through Steak n Shake, but nothing ( Read more... )

Congratulations and good luck!

You might want to include the story about your dad and Mike going to Iraq, but spun to focus on you. That might earn you some points with them.

I'd say that you should bring My Ass with you and include something about him, but I don't know if that's something they'll like.

I'm sure that you just have to think a little more and you'll figure it out. Think of any accomplishments, hobbies, things of that nature.

Rock out with the marching band stuff: you know ALL the UMD school songs by heart. And what about stories from road trips/band trips? I'm sure some are PG/PG-13!

You're not boring, just everything about you is a lengthier story or hobby, while I'm sure they're looking for 5 quick things. You're a complex person, not boring!
hmmm...any silly facts from band or APO? Maybe put down that recently put a knife through your hand while pitting an avocado! Also think about what you like to do- you do quiz bowl and trivia, you bake and cook, etc. And you sell tupperware with your mother- that's kinda cool.
I know- you could talk about how you are still working on the thank you notes from the wedding- people will sympathize with that, and it's a little funny. Also, maybe how you and Dave have seen The American President 193759302 times?

1) Good Luck :) I know you'll do well!

2) I agree with all the above also.

3)Talk about quiz bowl and how you met your husband through quiz bowl. Beyond that, I have no clue what could be condensed into a 20 second story.

You have to be careful about quiz bowl mentions.

You could say that you're a sister and a brother.
