Good answers.
Polite.
Good posture.
Eye contact.

Within the mock interview, what went well was that I had good answers to the questions that were given to me. I was polite and maintained good posture and eye contact throughout the interview. I was facing the interviewer the whole time the interview went on for. ]]> 2023-01-25 10:37:26 UTC https://padlet.com/pastelforceinc/pfr8f0sr5ppm17pa/wish/2455957223 Not Well - 1 jmcbride8021 https://padlet.com/pastelforceinc/pfr8f0sr5ppm17pa/wish/2455959255 Stumbled a little. 
Give example. 

During the course of the mock interview, I did stumble a little bit on a question, but I did save myself over it. I needed to also give examples of what makes me a good candidate to the question because it makes me seem more capable and more applicable to the course. ]]> 2023-01-25 10:39:32 UTC https://padlet.com/pastelforceinc/pfr8f0sr5ppm17pa/wish/2455959255 Certificate jmcbride8021 https://padlet.com/pastelforceinc/pfr8f0sr5ppm17pa/wish/2473090108 2023-02-08 09:00:03 UTC https://padlet.com/pastelforceinc/pfr8f0sr5ppm17pa/wish/2473090108 Evaluation jmcbride8021 https://padlet.com/pastelforceinc/pfr8f0sr5ppm17pa/wish/2473103754 - The questions that I was asked was about the course, what I liked about the course from the last year and a half. As well as a bit about myself and what my strengths and weaknesses are. This was helpful in answering because it made me use the questions that were given to me as I used them within my answer. I explained myself within the answers that I had got given to answer with the questions to help me stay on topic and to relate to the question that I was given. 

- The questions that I have answered well were what you enjoyed from the last year and a half that you have done. I enjoyed answering this question as it helped me to give an answer that I may not have previously said to any other question about Creative Media. I feel like the questions that I have answered have been successful as I have paced myself but not making the interviewer wait to have my answer. 

- The questions that I did not answer well was about what I where I would see myself in five years. This was because I did trip up a bit while answering the question. The slip up was because when I was speaking, my throat was making me sound not clear to the interviewer, so I apologised and repeated my wording. She did say that it was ok, but I still decided to apologise for not sounding clear to her. 

- I have learnt how an interview works and what might be said within the interview for a university. This mock interview has given me an in site to what the process is and what to do and how to answer them to the best of my ability. I believe that this mock interview has helped me to learn things that I can take to any interview. Such as how to say here is my weakness and I have noticed this because I am this way. However, this is my strength because I can recognise that I am like this and how people perceive me as a person. ]]> 2023-02-08 09:11:49 UTC https://padlet.com/pastelforceinc/pfr8f0sr5ppm17pa/wish/2473103754
