Interview Reflection

My interview Monday was the first interview that I have ever done. I was very nervous going into the interview because I did not know what to expect. I noticed once I was beginning the interview, that I needed to just be myself. I also noticed that it is better to answer everything truthful than to get caught in a false statement. In the interview it is better to stay calm and to talk about yourself and not be afraid of the questions that are going to be asked. When a person is nervous, he or she tends to forget how to answer specific questions. Also a nervous person stalls a lot because he or she is so nervous, nothing is coming to mind to satisfy a question.

If I were to be able to take the interview again there are a few things I would change. The slight nervousness that I experienced when I first began the interview, is something that I would not experience if I had the interview again. Once the first interview is done with people tend to feel better about each interview that is done afterwards. I also would have printed off my resume and cover letter a day before the interview. Printing the papers off a few minutes before the interview only made me become nervous. However, I did enjoy the interview and I believe that it was a good experience for me in the future. I will feel confident when interviewing for my future job.
