Mock Interview

As a whole, I feel the interview went well. I had some technical difficulties at the beginning of the interview, but I kept my composure and finished the interview strong. I prepared for this interview the same way I prepared for my interview for admissions into the occupational therapy program. I did some research on google and discovered some of the most popular interview questions. I also reviewed the websites that were given to us via Blackboard. I believe those websites really helped prepare me for this interview. One thing that I was not expecting to be asked during this interview was 3 reasons why I was interested in this type of facility. This caught me off guard because even though we were to be interviewing for this certain position, I am not super interested in the setting that I was assigned, so it took me longer than I expected to answer that question. Although I did ask Shannon a question during the interview, if I were in a real-life interview, I would make sure I came equipped with multiple questions to show that I was prepared for the interview. One thing that I learned during this interview is to stay calm no matter the situation. As I stated above, I had technical issues at the beginning of my interview, and I got nervous after that, so I did not perform to the best of my abilities. Overall, I feel that this experience was very beneficial for me. I am glad I got this opportunity to work out the kinks before I must interview for a real job.
