Mock Interview Analysis

At our previous class period, we had to go through a practice interview. I am happy and thankful that I did go through some interviews before in my life so I thought it was going to be a breeze, but I was mistakened. What I did noticed was this, “You will never know what you're going to be expecting at an interview.”

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

The mock interview assignment was a great experience for me and I felt well-prepared to complete the interviewing process to the best of my ability. There were times I felt anxious through the Skype interviewing process, because I do struggle with anxiety. However, I felt comfortable enough with Ms. Burton to share my weaknesses. My mock interview was focused toward graduate school and I could discuss my specific challenges with test anxiety. I remained upfront and honest with Ms. Burton about my test anxiety, but gave her vital solutions that I am using to help manage this issue.

With my past work experiences as a case manager, I 've had various meetings about what services my clients were going to need and what my involvement was going to be in meeting their needs. This has helped me strengthen my communication skills and I have learned to talk to a variety of different individuals. I especially find myself to have confidence which has also helped me sound relaxed and approachable when meeting someone for the first time. With this in mind I felt positive I was going to do well on my interview reflection assignment for my Introduction to Occupational Therapy class.

I am normally a very shy person so when we were told that we were to do interviews on the first day of my community placement I felt scared. I did not know how to approach people confidently let alone do an interview. I knew I could do it but I was not confident enough. I was already feeling overwhelmed because it was my first time to be placed in a hospital.

In addition to posing my questions the best I could I also made sure to paraphrase throughout the interview. Paraphrasing is very useful because it helps me clarify what my clients have said. It is smart to clarify so that not only you

This is an experience that i will never forget. From the start of the assignment paper, I knew I had to face my worst fear of speech, because I am a shy person. This being my first interview, to conduct I had to be very thorough; because I wanted to mask my fears and take up the challenge. According to my personality i perceive myself to be an introvert and prefer being quiet, and this is part of my personality, I would try to mask as a professional. For this paper I would describe in detail how I prepared, carried out my interview with Mr. Andre Jackson, who is a customer service manager at walmart stores in my city, where i work.

After assessing my interview, I found that there were a couple of things that I have improved on from my previous interviewing experiences. The first thing is a reduction in my filler words. I

Throughout this semester this class has allowed me the privilege to get to know people who I would have never talked to on a personal level while also having the chance to advance my interviewing skills while getting to know them. Not only did these interviews and experiences display my strengths such as being able to adapt to certain situations but even more importantly it helped show me my weaknesses. After one interview and the next, I had to learn what role I had to play as within each interview I had to adapt to find my specific role as it varied from one to the next. Having the opportunity to interview a handful of people from the beginning of this semester to now has also taught me that the person you are interviewing can have a tremendous effect on if the interview goes successfully or not for reasons that I will elaborate on further in my paper. Lastly, one of the greatest lessons I learned about while interviewing people would be how to properly prepare to make sure the interview itself go as smoothly as possible. All of these factors have helped me grow in becoming a better interviewer and have helped me grow as a person.

I’ve been in many different job interviews. Including the Georgina Leisure Pool. Where I applied for a Lifeguard, and Swim instructor position. I’ve also had an interview with Swiss Chalet where I applied for a waitressing position. Going into the interviews I was a bit nervous I’ve never been good at interviews, and pool interview was my first job ever. When I came to the interview at Swiss Chalet I was more hesitant then the pool interview because it was a new experience from me working in the food and beverage industry. I wasn’t sure of the questions that were going to be asked, and how I would respond to them.

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

The overall experience of mock interview was great. It turned out really well than I thought. I thought I might do badly when I answer the questions. I worried that I will make mistakes and couldn’t answer the questions during the interview. The feedbacks that I received from a staff member can help me with my future interview preparation.
