Online Mock Interview

My online interview was great.  I definitely didn't perform as well as I would have liked to, but I learned a lot from the interview.   I’m amazed at how well role plays help me.  I always feel like I've got a good grasp on things until I do role plays.  This is when I realize I don’t have a great grasp on things, but I’m able to fix any problems in order to help me achieve my A-game. 

For example, I felt so prepared for this online interview.  I thought about potential questions and how I would answer them. I read over my resume. I reviewed the job description.  I felt very ready for the interview, and the interview was going well.  Then the question came . . . “Do you have any questions?”  I had completely failed to think of questions to ask.  I panicked, and I told my interviewer I did (because I knew I should).  I then looked like an idiot trying to think of a question after I had said I had one. 

A lesson was definitely learned.  These mock interviews really do help prepare for the real ones.  The more practice I get, the more familiar I’ll become with interviews, and the better I can prepare.
