Mock Interview Reflection Report

1) The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator Test was very beneficial giving me insight on who I am and the strengths and weaknesses I possess. My results were ESTP which is extraversion, sensing, thinking, and perceiving. MBTI describes ESTP’s as a “Flexible and tolerant, they take a pragmatic approach focused on immediate results. Theories and conceptual explanations bore them­­­­­---they want to act energetically to solve the problem.

Applicants have the opportunity to reflect their strengths and skills that best benefit the job they are searching for. We had the chance to experience a mock interview during this semester which helped us gain insight in the search for a job.
