About the mock interview

IN CLASS.....

On Tuesday's class we went over how mock interviewing should be in order to be successful. We went over some questions that are usually asked during interviews. I use to think that talking too much about your previous jobs could be a bad thing, but during this class i learned that it can actually be a good thing depending on what you say. As long as you stick to the positive things that you did, talking about previous jobs could be extremely beneficial.

The basic idea is to just stick to all of your accomplishments and positive aspects and qualities you may carry whether it be in the work field such as good problem solving skills, delegating and good customer service. Also with school, showing that you are very dedicated, hard working, never give up on what you want to achieve. All of these qualities, if discussed or mentioned in an interview can definitely work to ones advantage.

I always knew that the way one projects their voice in an interview, the way they answer, sit and place their hands all may affect the interview in a negative or positive way. I was not aware that sitting up straight n speaking with your head up can affect your answers in the sense that it may give you more confidence.
