The unfortunate side effects of job interviews. Nervousness, sweaty palms, the usual. Thankfully they didn't surface in todays mock interview for 'Utopia'.
Sat in a interview room, reminiscent of Alan Sugar's 'Apprentice', opposite two fearsome interviewers. (Not so. It was my lecturers Alison and Julia.) Nevertheless, interview conditions still applied and it was as professional as any other.
Despite having to sell myself for a role which didn't necessarilly interest me, was challenging. I think it may have been more appropriate and successful for all, if there were maybe several options for a job role, which each student could choose from and then the interview questions would be more relevant to what they would encounter after university.
Obviously in the 'real world' I would be applying for a role where my work experience would be relevant, rather than trying to sell my experience for a role which isn't a) what i'm wanting to do and b) where my experience fits the role.
Hmm... who know's. That's just my opinion.
