Interviews have always been something that made me nervous. From interviews with ecclesiastical leaders to job interviews, I always get nervous. I was pretty happy to hear that we would be practicing interviews in class, and I hoped that I would be able to come away with some new insights. After the class was over I really felt like I had some great feedback to work with and new ideas from my group.
One thing that I noticed that I need to work on is making my answers more concise and to the point. During my mock interview I tended to go all over the place. Giving a more concise answer will help me to be more clear and memorable. I think I can prep more answers to questions to help myself to be more direct.
I also found that I tended to use a ton of filler words. It's something small but during a interview longer than 10 minutes it becomes pretty distracting. Instead of using filler words I'm going to try to pause and take my time.
Overall, I really liked the mock interviews and I feel like it was a great way to see where I can improve.
