What was that essay about?!? The secret to immortality? The definitive proof of God? The Ultimate Answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything?
It was something about the most valuable lesson I have learned at my time in Rutgers. I could have easily written about making myself stand out and be known in a place where there are 300 or more in a lecture. However, I went for a shocker. Mine was about a unique issue that I had to unfortunately go through and how I was able to become a better person from it. I know it's vague but that's really the most I can say.
My point is, BE UNIQUE!!! The people reviewing things get bored of reading the same thing in just different words. You need to be different and that will get you what you want.

Ok, I need a little help once again. One of the questions on the application this time around is what song would you have play as you enter the room ~ a theme song of sorts. I can only think of Disney songs that I like ~ go figure
Any help would be appreciated. What would be a good song, fun, inquisitive, smart, happy???

Hmmmmm, how about something classical? Orchestral?
What about "Simple Gifts" from Aaron Copeland's Appalachian Spring?
Or perhaps George Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue?
Or if you want some choral singing what about "Ode to Joy", the final movement of Ludwig van Beethoven's Ninth Symphony?

Sure, if you want to say "I am faking it for this application"
Since you're supposed to be the center of attention, you could always go with something memorable like Enter Sandman or Fuel.

Oh I love Ode to Joy we played that at our wedding.
I thought " I'm Every Woman" and just to show how unserious that suggestion was I can not even remember who sang it.

Hmmm, I do like Rhapsody in Blue. I don't know if they are looking for personality on this one, or really a song that they would play when you were moving into the museum. Why didn't I take more psychology classes in college?!

Their first though would probably be "no..."
How about Woodkid's Iron? Use the hidden blade during the interview to level the competition.

We are talking about a museum. Museums about the past - how many people do you think working at a museum are up to date with the music in the last 10 years?

Considering the entire point of the exercise is to shake off the old and dated feel, I would say they probably hired some people who have more contemporary ideas. They don't want someone old and stale, they want new hotness.

The first thing that came to kind for me was Spectromagic right after Jiminy Cricket has his intro. If you want to be a little daring maybe Dirty Diddy Coming Home???
