Interview Evaluation

1. How did you prepare for the mock interview?
1. To prepare, I made sure my attire was neat and clean, keeping it business casual. I also went over the sample questions and wrote out answers to the hardest ones that I knew I would stumble over if asked, so I would be ready for anything!
2. What did you do well for the mock interview?
1. I shook hands at the beginning and the end, maintained good eye contact, and kept my answers precise and positive. Also, I diverted the illegal question successfully, turning it into a way to assure the interviewer that I am ready to work. My strengths and weaknesses were also gone over so that my strengths shone and my weaknesses faded to minuscule trifles.

Interview Questions

1. What courses did you like the best and least in college?
• My least favorite would probably be the mathematics and science courses. I value those subjects, and they have their place, but to me they are simply a means for more right-brained function. My favorite courses always involved creativity and working with people. I loved Film production, creative writing, and Theatre classes the most. 
2. What accomplishment has given you the greatest satisfaction?
• In 2009 I was blessed enough to get the chance to work hard on learning very difficult choral music. My choir mates and I were selected to travel to New York City and perform with the National Youth Choir in Carnegie Hall. I still remember the feeling I had on stage. I was humbled and honored to be admitted as worthy of that stage. It was the opportunity of a lifetime, and I learned so much from that experience.
3. How do you handle yourself when you're having a conflict with someone? Do you tend to confront the person or do you avoid that person? Why?
• Being in theatre and choir for a number of years, as well as various leadership positions has taught me that each person or office has a different way to deal with conflict. Some people react negatively to direct confrontation, while other people need more concrete communication to get the point. No matter the specific topic, I try to communicate with each person with which I may be in conflict according to how I (or possibly others who know them better) ascertain they would best respond to find some sort of settlement, whether it be compromise or a decision to one side or the other. 

There's a little sample! Three possible interview questions and my answers to them!
