Name three things that stuck in your mind about your service experience; what bored, surprised, shocked, appalled, intrigued, amused or interested you? What was the best/worst/most challenging thing that happened in your volunteer placement?

Post-campaign evaluations and reactions

Carefully organize your thoughts in order to be both clear and concise (brevity in this section is better than being long-winded!). Some of these questions are personal, some involve details about the campaign that you will often be able to infer through your experiences or general observations. However, you may want to interview the candidate or a member of his/her staff for insights to help answer these questions while volunteering or in a follow-up interview after the campaign concludes.

 

Personal reactions

There are no right or wrong answers in this section. The best grades will be given to those who did the best job articulating and evaluating their experiences – good, bad and indifferent. While some students tend to be loquacious, especially in response to the first question, most answers range between 100 and 350 words.

1. Name three things that stuck in your mind about your service experience; what bored, surprised, shocked, appalled, intrigued, amused or interested you? What was the best/worst/most challenging thing that happened in your volunteer placement?
2. What was your primary responsibility during the campaign? Evaluate the worthiness of your work or the specific campaign activities you participated in. Did your efforts seem to make a difference? Why or why not?
3. Would you ever want to volunteer for this candidate – or another candidate- ever again? Why or why not?
