The Interview

Last class we were able to do a group exercise of mock interviews. We were split up into a panel section and an interviewee section. I happened to be one of the interviewee's. Even though this situation is a fake one it can still make you nervous. Being observed by other people and being aware of their presence is nerve rattling. I think that as we move through school we sometimes assume that an interview will come easy to us, even if we don't practice. Not saying it cant be done, but to me your perceptions change as soon as you enter the room. I was able to complete my mock interview and even had really great feedback. I have to admit for this interview it was difficult because on the inside I constantly thought about how a real one would play out.
