For this part of the week, I was doing a mock up interview with my lecturers to prepare myself for the 3rd year of when I am going to do for work placement.
Before this week, I did a smaller mock interview with my classmates to be prepared for week 8. However, as I was about to go for the interview, I got ill and could not attend the class for the mock up interview. So instead, the meeting got moved to this week. The interview took place in a small room with two tutors asking me questions and posing as employers. Here is how it went.
During the mock interview I felt very scared due to not doing well when I am not under pressure as they kept asking me questions. After the interview, they gave me valuable feedback. For the good part of the interview was that I showed interest in creating my own projects when I was asked about what future or past projects I would love to work on. Another thing that I did well was that I showed some knowledge of animation when asked what do I know about this position. However, it wasn’t enough as the bad part was that I didn’t talk enough about my part of the job. Another thing that I did bad was undervaluing myself during the whole interview and knowing what I am worth. The last thing that I bad was that I wasn’t keeping a lot of eye contact as it was essential to get the job.
Overall
Overall, I am pretty mixed with this week as I was not able to handle the stress of the interview and at times I felt a bit of panic during the interview. However, the information was very valuable information.
