The mock interview experience was an insightful one. I learned a lot through this experience. First, we discussed how to fill out a job application. You have to fill it out in black ink and also have to know how to write small. The lines aren’t that big and there is a lot of important information that needs to go on there. You also need to get more than one copy if you can in case you make any careless mistakes. Another thing you need to have is reference, but you can write on your application that’s they are available upon request. Next, we discussed making a resume.

During your interview you need to be honest, they will respect a person who is honest. Interviewers usual look for people who are flexible to learning, are responsible, and have determination. Your interterviewer will ask questions relating to those things in order to see what kind of employee you will be. My interviewing experience was insightful like I said before.

Then, I interviewed at Senior Healthcare while I was home on Long Island over Easter break. I interviewed with John Reardon, and he explained to me what he was looking for in an intern for the summer.

John told me that one of the main purposes for me to get a job with his company would be to “learn the ins and outs of business”.…
