Reflection On Mock Interview

The student attended a mock interview conducted by Mrs. I. Egodapitiya for their second assignment. The interview was for a management trainee position at a plastic company. Though the student prepared answers using the STAR method and practiced interview skills, they were still a bit nervous. During the interview, Mrs. Egodapitiya asked behavioral questions about skills, managing people, and teamwork. The student answered using STAR and discussed failures and overcoming challenges. Their performance was evaluated on five criteria and received strong ratings, but it was noted the student should provide more specific examples and speak at a slower pace. The mock interview experience taught the student about corporate interviews and identified weaknesses to improve communication skills.

Reflection on mock interview

As our second assignment for BES2500D I attended a mock interview conducted by


Mrs. I. Egodapitiya focusing on a job advertisement I selected. The job advertisement
was selected according to my qualifications and skills. By looking at the
advertisement I prepared a cover letter and a resume to adhere with the job
advertisement.
The job advertisement I found was a management trainee position at phoenix plastic
company. I order to get prepared for the interview I practised to answer questions
through the STAR approach.
On May 9th, 2015 the mock interview was arranged and I got all the required
documents ready and I went to ACBT Kandy in order to participate in the
interviewing process. The interview was one on one behavioural interview which was
conducted in a separate office space with a real time corporate environment. I was the
second person to attend the interview. Even though I practised to answer the possible
question I was a little bit nervous.
When I got my chance to attend the interview I walked to the room and Mrs.
Egodapitiya greet me saying good morning and she introduce herself to me, by that
moment I was confident. She started the interview by asking me about my skills
communication, the ability in managing people, and the ability of working in teams.
For these question I answered using the STAR method whereas I started explaining
my situation, then explained my task, after that I explained the action I took and at last
I stated results of my action. As the final question Mrs. Egodapitiya asked me my
failures in life and how I overcame the situation. I explained my failures and the way I
overcame those situations.
After attending the interview our performance was evaluated by Mrs. Egodapitiya
based on five criterias:
1. Content and communication
2. Preparedness
3. Motivation for interview success

4. Mannerisms
5. Attire and personal
My performance was evaluated by Mrs. Egodapitiya as I had very strong evidence in
all five criterias but it was suggested that I have to forces more towards specific
examples and my phase of talking to be reduced because my presentation speed is a
bit more faster than average.
As a result of the mock interview I have experienced a real time interview which
thought me many things about corporate interview environment and the tricks and tips
in effective interviews. And as a result I was able to understand my weaknesses in
communication skills such as my speed in delivering answers. I think this will be
helpful to me in my career to achieve great heights.
