Post-Interview Reflection

So I had my mock interview on September 9th.  I was one of the last people to go that day.  My interview was with Allied Health Services with Ms. Elaine Robinson.  Overall, I felt the interview went really well!!  I was definitely nervous going into the interview, because I was not sure what to expect, or even really how to prepare for it.  I had some ideas as to what I was going to be asked, but I can say that Ms. Elaine threw me through a loop with some of the them!  What I was not expecting during the interview, was how well I was able to convey what I wanted to say and how I wanted to say it.  I would like to think I impressed Ms. Elaine, however that could just be me inflating myself.  If there was something I could have done differently was not say the word "um" as much.  I struggle with saying that work too often, as I used to say the word "like" all the time.  I think if I work on just allowing a pause when I'm talking, I'll find myself not saying "um" as much.  What I learned from this mock interview was that I definitely have more confidence that I initially realized.  I don't think I will ever feel fully prepared for an interview, but I think as long as I go in with confidence and answer each question to the best of my abilities, I think I can be successful in them.
