Mock Interviews

The mock interviews were very informative for me. I have never been a very good speaker and I have never been good at interviews. I was nervous when the principle asked me a question even though there was no pressure. This concerns me and also opens my eyes that i will have to practice the interview process before i actually get interviewed. I felt the pressure last class and really will need to work so I know my stuff cold so that my nerves do not get too out of control. It was great to hear some of the questions though, most of them if really thought about them I could answer however to put all the jargon and information in the answers i will need to work through them. It was good to hear the questions though to get some idea of what they will ask us!

I felt the exact same way Leah. It's especially hard to get the right words out when you are nervous, which is what I am afraid of. I feel like even if I am prepared to the best of my abilities, I will still fumble up the answers.

I am guessing, however, that everyone feels this way and it comes across in most interviews. As the principals mentioned, they expect us to be nervous and take that into account.

I am glad we had the opportunity to answer questions in front of a principal, as well as some of our classmates because the more people I speak in front of the more comfortable I become. I guess we'll just have to keep in mind that.....Practice makes Perfect!!!
