APPLICANT ESSAY QUESTIONS
(note: the spaces following the questions will expand to fit your text)
To be considered for a leadership position on the Walton Robotics Team, each applicant must respond to the following questions. Please take the time to consider your answers to each of these questions. Inadequate responses might reduce your chances of earning a leadership position. Having a leadership position in the past is no guarantee of a leadership position next year.

Note that for 2017-18, leadership applications are for team leadership and not for a particular leadership position.

Describe the position you see yourself filling

Describe your vision of the most excellent Walton Robotics Team imaginable. Include some of the goals that you would like to help the team to achieve.

What special skills or perspectives do you bring that would make you a good leader on the Walton Robotics team?

Explain how you would help WRT achieve those goals. Include any resources you would need to accomplish these goals (people, money, etc.)

What has not been asked that you would like to tell us? What else should we consider in our decision?

An interview will be scheduled for you to personally present yourself for a leadership position. The interview will involve multiple WRT mentors. Please prepare for the interview. Talk with team leaders or one of the mentors for more information.
