Mock Interview
I did my interview with Mickey Mouse
This experience was helpful because it gave me some refreshers on interviewing. I haven’t interviewed in almost 6 years. Also It gave me some hints on what to ask if I ever do the interviewing again.
The most difficult question was to name an experience where you may have failed and had to correct the situation. It’s hard to show yourself in a positive light when speaking of a bad or negative experience. I believe these questions can sometimes be the most advantageous question in an interview.
Some advice I might give to someone preparing for an interview would be to be prepared. Gather research on the company your interviewing for. It shows interest and initiative. And an interviewer will potentially ask you questions about their company just to see if you did your homework about them.
Some things I learned are to be prepared to speak on a negative experience, also be prepared to speak highly about yourself without demeaning others, another thing I learned were some ways to steer around the desired salary questions.
I need to do some more homework on the company I am applying for. Have an answer to any possible questions that may arise about the company. Also come prepared with some stories and be able to try to relate with the interviewer. Stories tend to stick in the heads of the interviewer. Be able to stand out in a good way, weather its with the way you dress, smell, shake hands, voice flection, whatever… show confindence.
