Mock Interview

This mock interview experience was essential for me because I have never actually been interviewed or held a real job. I have played sports my entire life with one sport leading to the next, so I have never had time to have a job. My athletic career will come to an end one day, and I will need to know what to expect when it comes time to apply and interview for a job.

I have lived on a tight schedule my entire life, and now that I am playing college football I have realized the importance of time management. I made time the night before my interview to read over my resume and look over the website for the graduate school for which I was "interviewing." This helped me during the interview because I was able to recall some information that was relevant to the graduate school. I felt prepared walking into the interview.

I feel like Ms. Rogers did a good job of portraying what an interviewer would act like. She was very professional and asked questions that made me reveal what type of person I am. I did not have any reason to be nervous in this mock interview, but even if it was a real interview I would have been at ease because I was well prepared. The one snag in the interview came at the end when she asked if there was anything I did not like about my personality. I did not know how to answer the question, but Ms. Rogers told me how to answer the question skillfully after the interview was over.

I did not think that I would learn much from the mock interview, but I realize that it was very helpful and will be important when I have to interview for a real job.
