Eminent Interview Practice Reflection

When making questions, using my questions, and listening to my peer’s questions, I realized that some of my open ended questions could be more open ended and free. For example, the majority of my questions were similar to “why did you come to TALONS?”, which are technically open-ended questions, but they’re quite strict to one topic. But, some of my peers’ questions were more similar to “do you have any goals for the future?”, so in the future, I will try and include some more open questions for interviews. Another thing I noticed when watching other people’s interviews is that they had good transitions through subjects of questions such as “now I’m going to move onto more in depth questions.”, which I didn’t have, so I will take this into account as well during my real interview. From the feedback I got, I found that I was slightly unfocused during the interview, so I will pay attention to that during the real interview as well. I could also work on being more prepared with my questions, because I was taking quite long pauses in between my questions. To do this, I could order my questions of importance from first to last when making the questions, so that I can immediately move on to the next question when I’m done with one. Overall, this was a good experience and good practice, so I’m glad that we got to try out interviewing. I learned that there are some aspects that I am successful in like good body language, enunciation, and clarity, and some aspects that I still need to work on such as focusing and extending on questions properly, and I will take all of this into account when preparing for and doing my real interview.
