Mock Job Interviews
Summers Coordinator - MYAC
Experience :
Well, I would have to say that I believed that I didn't do bad and I didn't do my best either. Knowing that I was basically the first one to experience the first mock job interview, I was pretty nervous and unprepared. I never had an interview before for a job. I thought that I kinda, sorta answered most of my questions well. But obviously, I had a lot of stuttering moments and blank moments. I was a really shy person at the time because I wasn't really the type of girl who likes to talk about herself and make myself stand out.
Tips:
- stand up straight when during an interview
- look them in the eyes, makes it look like your interested in listening.
- be confident
- don't be afraid to add a little more details about yourself. Make yourself look awesome!!!!
- make sure your prepared with a resume
- practice. If youre like me and blanks out a lot, a lot of practice with definitely pay off.
DO NOT:
- bribe the interviewer. Hahahaha
- use slang. That is very improper
- use relatives as your reference.
- make the interviewer wait a long period time for a response.
> although I didn't get the job, I am proud of Sammy because she is the only one that gave her resume, which was an in vantage for the interviewer to call her back and let her know that she got the job.
I know what I did wrong, especially when I gave a thank you note!!! I wasn't quite sure how that works!! Haha but I was willing to do it for the bonus. But it's okay, what doesn't kill me, only made me stronger.
