Today was the day of the mock interview and this gave us the second chance this term to practice being interview by others in our class and interview them. Earlier in the week I decided on the job role I'll be applying for which was the role of an animator at the Walt Disney Animations studios in Burbank California. Here's the link to the application from the animated jobs website: http://www.animatedjobs.com/animationjobs/animator-walk-disney-animation-studios-burbank-ca/
Also for when I interview someone in my group I prepared questions that I would ask them before hand. At the start I went with the most common questions like "What are your strengths?" "What are your weaknesses?" and "Why should we hire you?". Then I did try to recall questions I remember being asked when going for proper interviews in the past. "Where do you see yourself in 5 years?", "What inspires you?" and "What's your greatest achievement?" are all questions I've been asked in the past in interviews and they are all questions that I feel can't be answered in just a sentence. They give way for you to really open up about yourself and give the interviewer a clearer picture of you. Using these questions in the task really helped us .
In the end I found the task today helpful as it keeps you thinking of how you'll answer typical interview questions properly instead of your mind going blank or saying "I don't know" which would be disastrous in a real interview. It was also a lot fun to see how your friends react to being put on the spot.
