Mock Interview

a) Who did you interview with and what is their job title?
Lorrie Percifield, Assistant Branch Manager, Bank of America

b) What was most useful to you about this experience?
It was out of my comfort zone, which was good for me. Also, it was nice to get feedback which normally doesn't happen at real interviews. Either you are hired or not.

c) What was the most difficult question you were asked and why?
Tell me a time when you made a mistake and how did you handle it.
Why do you want to work here?
What makes you stand out?

d) What advice would you give to others preparing for an interview?
Practice in the mirror, and with people who make you sort of nervous. Be aware of the body language you exhibit. Eye Contact. Have answers ready to all sorts of questions. Practice them, know them. Try to eliminate odd filler words "Um, uh, like".

e) Name at least (3) things you learned.
1. I do not sound very confident in myself. My resume makes me sound more confident then I actually sound in person.
2. Eye contact is huge.
3. I need to practice more to avoid moments of silence after questions.

f) Name at least (3) things that can be improved for your next interview.
1. Sound more enthusiastic in my voice. Employers want to hear that you are excited to work for them.
2. Demonstrate confidence with body language, eye-contact and tone of voice.
3. Give specifics. Be ready with answers and examples to tough questions.
