Today in groups we engaged in peer mock interviews, although this was nerve racking, having strangers ask you questions about your skills. It was good simulation for a real life interview. I have never been interviewed by a panel of three people before because I have only ever applied for jobs in entry level positions and within wither bar work or retail. So this was a new experience for me.
I found that when being interviewed, despite knowing what point I was trying to make, my lack of preparation meant that I found myself babbling and not relating my answer directly to a skill or back to the original question.
So in response to this, I feel it would be really useful to sit down and look at my CV, and then develop a few key examples of previous work situations which I can use to apply to multiple skills. I think it would benefit me to do some searching in the Careers and Employability centre on campus to find out some more information on how to be successful in an interview.
