Oh, mock interviews, how I have missed you. It reminds me of role playing as a missionary when my companion and I would practice teaching. The more real I make it, the better prepared I am for the lesson or interview. This time, however, I wasn't as mentally prepared as I should have been. My performance lacked strength in that I didn't have solid answers prepared for certain questions that I was asked; Arlen and Monica had some good ones for me. Having a PAR story or ten wouldn't hurt in an interview situation; that was my biggest weakness.
The most fun part of class was being able to interview other students. It gave a me a good sense of what interviewers are looking for. I probably would have asked some more critical-thinking questions to the people who were applying for science and laboratory positions, but other than that it went well. I plan to go over PAR stories thoroughly before my next job interview.
Hopefully no one has to deal with an interview this intense in the future!
