I have been invited for the interview (paid internship) this week. I am a bit confused about whether should I say that I am student of X University (technically, I am, but not actively enrolled, but I enjoy all the benefits of being one, and I have the status on the university website and the student ID and etc.) while being on the academic leave.
I am talking on a bachelor's degree.
The reason I am asking this because:
- I don't want end up like the author of this question.
- I know the likelihood of the question("Can you tell me a little about yourself?") coming up is high, so should I try to hide that I am in this tricky position or not and face the situation where they may ask me about my studies and it may end up in a bad position.
P.S the job add in the requirements tells that I should be either majoring in CS or in other field OR experienced, so I don't know whether that will be a problem.
but not actively enrolled
...andbeing on the academic leave
...what do they mean? In other words, if someone try to verify you are really "either majoring in CS or in other field"..what would be the university answer?
