Today Digby gave me a mock interview to see how I did and also at the same time he went through my CV to see where changes could be made and what I could add in for this current job. I found both parts of this very helpful.
We firstly went through my CV, i discussed with him what people look for on a CV and also he mentioned the 40 of 40 CV (your cv is bottom of the pile and its friday at 5pm and the person looking at your cv justs wants to go home) Digby was telling me the CV has to be brillant and explained to me where I was going wrong.
After lunch we then did a mock interview with a job spec for what the interview was for. As there was another intern with me we decided to be in each other's interview and gives 3 questions to the other person, so for example in my interview I would have Digby interviewing me as well as the other intern who chose 3 questions for me. I went first up.
I am usually confident in interviews and I hope I usually come across like that. I felt the interview went well. On feedback I gave strong answers and came across confidently and a good team player which is what I like to think of myself as.
I felt overall this was a strong day, it is brillant to get an inside track of how to conduct yourself in interviews and also how to present your CV, in the past I have been confident as long as my CV gets me the interview I can then sell myself well, my achilles heel in the past has been my CV but now I feel confident that will help me get through the door.
