Critique A Mock Interview

Shantelle Jones is a 17-year old adolescent female who was referred to this agency following a brief hospitalization for a suicide attempt. She resides in Rural, Michigan with her paternal aunt, Ms. Wilson, who has become her adoptive parent, as well as her younger sister, her paternal grandmother, and an adult male cousin. During her intake appointment, Ms. Wilson stated that she would like Miss Jones to be less aggressive toward her sister, less rebellious, and to become compliant with the medical recommendations of the psychiatrist who treated her in the hospital. Miss Jones stated that she would not like counseling, but if it was necessary she would comply because she would like to be less depressed and have less strife in her home life.

When going into my first mock interview I felt very nervous. I found myself surprised by how quickly I blanked on all of my questions that I had for my initial interview to begin the session. Keeping a professional composer is essential in the reassurance of the client that you can help them with their issues. Nevertheless, I did my best to keep this aura upon myself despite my nerves. As the session progressed, I became more relaxed and found it easier to communicate with my client and ask an array of open ended questions. These open ended questions I found where good transitions to get deeper into the conversation and the underlying issues the client suffered with. Furthermore, I found reflective listening to be fairly easy

The interviewer goes through the same routine, however, I answer each question with no hesitation. This second mock interview feels entirely different from the first. Instead of having a feeling of nervousness, I feel confident about my presence. No longer present from the first interview, my body language now supports the certainty of my responses. After the interview, we go over the synopsis of the session. They say the way I answer the questions and how I present myself makes me very appealing to actual job interviewers. From this experience, it prepares me into the field of

In beginning of class when I learned that we would be doing interviews I was dreading it. I have done interviews before and it felt the same as giving a presentation in front of the entire class. I had no real knowledge of what the proper way to hold an interview was let alone as a social worker. I know I wasn’t going to be given real interviews and I would be doing the interviews along with my group made up of fellow classmates but they felt as real as they could get. But gradually over the sessions it became easier and I felt more confident about how to conduct the interview. Having the practice even mock interviews became a great way for me to learn how to have an interview and make sure I know what I am doing. Which is a

I practiced answering the questions that I found on the website with my roommates and Karen Student United Association club adviser to help prepare me for the interview.

The mock interview gives me guidance on what type of questions are going to be asked an ahead of time, how I look when I respond, and how well prepared I am with the deliverance of me answer. The interviewer is only going to let me interview once. Therefore, I need to make it could.
