Before the second half of 299 begun in early January, I had this preconceived notion that interviewing would be something I was instinctively good at. I am not sure why I believed this, but when the interview portion of the class came around, I felt as if I would excel. I have had a few interviews in my past that generally went really well but none of those were of the same professional levels than that of Comm 299, which led to my assumption that I was very skilled at interviewing. I also believed that I was a fairly confident and outgoing individual that could easily hold a conversation. Though these beliefs may have been accurate, the interview proved otherwise. I became very nervous before and during the interview and felt vastly unprepared. I was not used to the type of questions asked, which was evident with my mark. In hindsight, I wish I could have put more effort towards this portion of the course. But the interview taught me that preparation is key for any interview, regardless of its purpose or circumstances. I also learnt that this was a particular area that I could certainly work on for future interviews.
