How did you feel while you interviewed a classmate? Do you believe that seeing an interview from the employer’s perspective makes you more prepared or not? Please explain. I felt normal, I felt OK; watching it from that perspective made me feel kind of in power.
How did you feel while you were interviewed by a classmate? Did you feel anxious, nervous, scared, prepared, overwhelmed, confident, etc.? Please explain why you felt that way. I felt kind of nervous because, well, I sometimes didn’t know what to answer.
How do you feel about your responses? Do you think your responses to the questions were adequate or do you feel you could have done better? What question did you find easy? What question did you find difficult to answer? I personally think my responses were good at the very least, I found the first questions pretty easy, the difficult ones were last ones in my opinions.
What advice would you give someone who is participating in a mock interview or a real interview? What advice would you give yourself; in other words, how do you think you could improve for your real interview? An advice would be that you must not look weak; to myself would be to keep my eyes on the employer
Yes, I know these mock interviews weren’t real, so imagine how you would perform in the interview if it was real. What have you learned you need to do to be better prepared? How should you dress for an interview? How should you behave before, during, and after an interview? What should you bring with you to an interview?Need to be serious, need to bring formal clothes (no jeans or T-shirts), behave like a mature person, bring only phone to interview, not to show, but for anything else.
Evaluate the activity. Be honest. What do you think was good about this class activity? How do you think we could improve this activity for next time, next year? Do you believe this is a skill you do need or do not need in real life? Please explain. What was good about this activity was that it helped you prepare for a real interview; well I don’t see need for improvement in my opinion, it may be a skill I need later on.
Take one of the 20 interview questions below and write a response that would be GOOD and one that would be BAD, then explain the difference with reasoning. It’s always good to practice job interview questions so that you become more and more comfortable. Good: I’ve wanted to do this since I found out about, and it drove me into it. Bad: So, yeah, wanted to do this kind of thing since I was born, and I want to do every once in a while. Differences are that one does want to do it, and the other has no idea what he is talking about.
What did you learn from your presentation? I learned that some jobs can be interesting even if you are not pursuing them
How well do you think you did on your presentation? I think I did average, at least
What are some presentation techniques that can you incorporate into your next presentation? More information and more details about what I’m presenting
What if anything, could you have done differently to change the outcome of your presentation? Well, I think that one thing at least should be memorizing the slides.
Finish the following statements:
I wish that I would have had more information about what I did and want to do.
If I could present my presentation again I wouldn’t be sick and look at the slides, but rather memorize them.
Now that I have reflected on my presentation, I hope I learn from the mistakes I made on this one.
