Mock Interview Reflection

Improved Essays
The overall process of preparing for the mock interview was long and dehydrated but needed. I see this process being one of the most important endeavors of my high school career. This experience was not easy at all. It takes hard work and a lot of time and effort put behind it to make it work. The process was not as fun as anything else I may have wanted to do but it is a beneficial aspect that will be used vitally. This mock interview will help me by giving me experience, making me a better at answering questions, and giving me a glance at how a real interview may go.
The questions you gave helped and did not help. It helped me by knowing how to answer questions and be able to answer them well and have a full conversation. But, none of the questions you gave were in my interview. It makes me wonder what was the point of giving all of these questions and they didn’t give us any on the interview. It seemed kind of pointless. But now as I look back over

Again I say, NONE of the QUESTIONS WERE IN MY INTERVIEW! The classroom Interviews helped me a lot more than anything else. It taught me how to answer questions. It taught me how to be a better interviewee and be a good interviewer. A lot of the things helped me but a lot of them did not help. The main reason behind why some things did not help me was because I did not have to use it. Overall my process in being in the mock interview process was very long draining but needed very much so. I believe that if I was asked to take away anything, it would have to be the extra work that I had to go through. It wasn’t needed in this process. In Conclusion, this experience was very helpful by preparing me with handshake exercises, Classroom interviews and questions that were given in our class. All of these things helped and did not help me I being successful in this endeavor. I would like to thank Mr. Thomas Bray and Ms. Ramsey both for this

I learned though doctors may be the wants that have more education experience, it is nurses that really get to know patients and treat them. I found learning this was interesting because I got to find a field upon which I can work with patients. The other interesting stuff about being a Nurse Practitioner which was interesting is the different types of places one can work.…

    I interviewed Jerry, Faith Green, Paul, Ms.Darshan, and Mr. Hanke. They were all very helpful because Faith and Jerry were IPoly students and I felt that I could really relate to them because I still haven't decided what I'm going to be. Ms. Darshan explained to us that we need to be responsible for our selves and that some textbook prices vary because they all cost a lot. Paul gave us advice in if we weren't sure what we are going to do we should find a common class that the careers I want to pursue have in common. Mr. Hanke told us that we need to stay focused in school because some people who try different things and don't get into it change who they want to be very quickly.…

    Proximately 100 years after the Emancipation Proclamation, Colored Americans in Southern states still had a blunt unequal world of segregation and sundry forms of oppression, including race-influenced brutality. “Jim Crow” laws at the local and verbalize levels barred them from schools and restrooms, from theaters and certain transportation, from courts and constitutional rights. In 1954, the high court established the “separate but equal” law that composed the substratum for state-approved segregation, bringing international and national awareness to African Americans’ struggle. In the unstable decade and a moiety that followed, civil rights activists used peaceful protests and civil incompliance to establish change, and the federal regime made legislative improvement with actions such as the 1965 Voting Rights and the 1968 Civil Rights Act.…

    As I walked into the small building, that in fact looked very enormous at the time, I began to anticipate every answer I would give to the person who interviewed me, so that to them, I would at least seem prepared. Although I had practiced my interviewing skills that very morning, I felt anxious and worried. Not knowing what to expect, many different scenarios ran through my mind, all of which weren't making my situation any better. Questions after questions were asked, all which seemed impossible for me to answer, and I felt as though I blew the whole thing. After the interview, many days passed by, and I had convinced myself that I did not get job.…

    Mock Interview Reflection The mock interview was closely related to the topics covered in the readings and in class. Getting practice using the techniques we have been learning in real time, with a real person, made the content more concrete. I was conscious of employing solution focused techniques as much as possible in the short time we had to conduct the interview. While my performance produced mixed results, the practice was a good start to becoming an expert using the technique. Strengths and Effectiveness When reflecting on my performance, I was able to express to the client I was fully engaged in our conversation by intentionally implementing a variety of reflection strategies.…

    The interview speech experience definitely taught me a lot more than I had expected. The interview portion of this project was just as much of a learning experience as the speech. I gained I better understanding of the verbal and non-verbal skills I mastered, changes I would make, and the experiences of other people. Verbal skills are something that I feel I have not completely mastered yet. However, there are some I noticed a great improvement in since the first speech.…
