Mock interview horror >.>

This was err...4th December. yea. When I had my mock job interview for Wil and Wei.

Our lecturer said that there was a possibility of someone other than him interviewing us. But whether it was make us all jittery and freak out, I have no clue, because come Monday, it was him sitting behind the table.

As with what we were suppose to do was be there 15-20 minutes before our slotted time, I arrived and saw M. Her slot was befroe mine and KY was stuck inside. I quickly dropped by the bookshop to grab an envelope and came back to find KY out and M inside.

So obviously, it was err...time to pry for some info regarding the interview. KY submitted his resume for the same job as I did, so yea. He was going through what he experienced and there I was getting all panicky. O__o

Apparently, questions about the company background didn't turn up. but it was really helpful because in the end, one or two repeat questions came my way and I had the slightest clue how to blab about it. XD

My turn came. Yea.

Some of the starting questions were really basic and came off the sample he gave us. But yea....I kinda crapped my way though. XD

What do you think are your strengths and weaknesses?
How do you feel about working long hours?
Do you work well under pressure?
What are the conditions you work best in?


And more which I can't remember X.X When you panick and answer randomly, you will not remember what you were being asked in the first place. haha XD

Overall, I think I did moderately....I hope I did...>.>

In the end he asked...

Do you have any questions you want to ask me?


-answers something about style of management-

And he rattles on a long list of how different ppl have different style of management. O.O

So then he says that the interview is over. He'll be giving his feedback now.

Okiesssssssss

You need to be more involve in curicular activities in school, preferablly business related
Aim for higher grades
Suggests internship
-bla bla-


*dies*

The horror was finally over? XD And that leaves me the whole week free...oh wait, still have the presentation to prepare for...-_-

I would say I got off easy, because later on when comparing notes with other coursemates of mine, they got harder questions....like the current economy and so forth....ACKKKKKKKK.

Thank goodness XD

Don't worry. You'll get used to interviews :) Soon you'll be rattling off your qualifications and good points so easily you'd be shocked.
