Mock Interview

a. Who did you interview with and what is their job title?
Amber Collins, Career Counselor for Humanities, Social Science and Arts

b. What was the most useful about this experience?
She gave me a lot of pointers on how to relax and that it is better to be yourself than stuttering to try and be more professional.

c. What was the most difficult question you were asked? Why?
"Tell me about yourself"; I had a hard time thinking of professional things about myself right off the top of my head.

d. What advice would you give others preparing for the interview?
Be yourself, you usually will show more unique qualities to get you the job if you aren't trying to conform to what you think they need.

e. Name at least three (3) things you learned.
I relax and interview better when I don't feel like I need to remember the script I wrote the night before.
An interviewer can decide whether they like you or not from the moment they see you.
It is best to leave your thank you note in their mailbox as you leave instead of mailng it.

f. Name at least three (3) things that can be improved on for your next interview.
I need to sound more confident about myself when I tell about things that I'm good at.
I could take some notes with me so that I don't have to remember the questions that I wanted to ask them and I can have their answers on paper to remember.
I can reword my sentences to have my answers sound good for the companies needs as well as my own.
