Session 7

At this lesson we had to talked about ourselves for few minutes, which was videotaped. I have prepared a little speech but still when I sat in front of camera I made many mistakes. Camera makes me nervous. But at the end of the day it was a good exercise as I had to overcome my fear and focus on my task. We had to talk about our plans and how to achieve them. I know that I will have to talk in front of the people in the future so I have to start now and this was my first step. Every little task prepares us to do something in the future. I may not realize that at the time but it will help, I know.
Later on we were asked to answer questions that may be asked at the interview. I found it a bit difficult and tricky at some stages but it was something that I have to think over going for interview. In my opinion, the best results will be achieved if the preparation before is good and properly done.
And one more little task- to list things that I have to consider preparing for the interview. Things like proper outfit, knowing the way and being on time, company research or properly prepared and presenting documents(CV, covering letter) are very important. If you are prepared, nothing can surprise you and the interview will go great. I have to believe in myself and do my best to achieve what I want(before and during the interview).
