#mock interview

me: i've always loved the moon

interviewer: anything more specific ?

me: ...and i want to piss on it

interviewer: what

I do mock interviews every summer with the students from my graduate certificate program. I love it, and I find it's a great way to give back. Here are some of the best questions students have asked me:

Should I cover my tattoos? Answer: Can Looking Weird at Work Be Good for Your Career? 

How is a Zoom interview different? Answer: Ask the Bitches: How Do I Prepare for a Job Interview on Zoom? 

Can you look at my resume and give me some quick feedback?

What are the biggest red flags you see in interviewee?

What immediately endears you to an interviewee?

What was your biggest blunder when you were interviewing for jobs?

What questions should I ask my interviewer at a real job interview?

If you were in my shoes, what would you currently be looking for in an employer?

If you were hiring for a real job, what would immediately intrigue you about a candidate?

What in a job application makes you want to call somebody in for an interview?

Don't be afraid to ask them for feedback after only a couple of questions! First impressions are lasting, and they might be able to give you important advice after only a couple of minutes. Here's more advice:

Doing an interview was not my first time—but it felt like experiencing it for the first time all over again.

Going through it with my friend made it both fun and nerve-wracking at the same time. Watching my friends overthink the questions they might be asked was relatable. Being part of Batch 2 and among the first five interviewees actually helped; it lessened the nervousness I was feeling.

Another activity we did was our defense for the social psychology game/activity. We did well, but there is still room for improvement. What matters most is that we showed up and did it despite being scared.

Overall, I believe I did great and performed well. Although this week was overwhelming, it was a truly valuable experience.

This is also voice acting practice for me. Don’t worry, my voice doesn’t actually sound like I’m a thirteen year old IRL, I pitched myself up for Four-Sight.
