- After the interviews I did I kept what they said in mind as I presented my sketchbook to the class
- The environment did help as I was around people I know
- However its clear i'm nervous at the start which will need improving by gaining more confidence through practice.

- at first, I wasn't good at communicating properly and professionally as I knew I was worrying and getting too caught up in my own mind
- Because of this the first interviewer told me what I'm successful at, unsuccessful at and how I can improve them
- Hearing what shes said I kept them in mind and went on to the others (being sure to do what I needed) and took their feedback also
- In the end, their comments were similar; I had a good handshake and smile
- Though I kept fiddling with my hands/pen/book, looking down rambling on nervously
- To improve I should be more confident, keep my back straight, keep eye contact, talk louder
- One good advice was to just practice more and put myself out there to gain confidence and know what i'm doing
