The entire focus for me today was mock interviews. These interviews have been extremely helpful for improving my confidence, and the feedback from the volunteers have been valuable for my effort to enhance my interview performance.
What I Did Today
I wanted to share this blog post because I found today’s mock interviews very helpful. The more practice I get, the more easy it is to relax and make the interviewer, and myself, feel comfortable. This time, I tried to be more human, and to smile and look at the interviewer, without reading from a script, and I found it was easier than I thought, it just takes practice. I am also very excited to network with the two volunteer interviewers, their company sounds wonderful.
What I did today:
I had two interviews that both went well.
They were very positive, energetic, and encouraging.
I received positive feedback.
