My name is Drew, and I am a cybersecurity freshman at BCIT. Today, I’m going to discuss a pretend job interview that I had with Ulysse, a sophomore in the same major and at the same school as myself. Because the interview portion requires one observer and our group only has two members, our DJ – teacher will function as the observer and will be responsible for asking questions and providing comments to the audience. every interviewer Because I asked Ulysse a few questions about his history, I discovered that he had a lot of experience with these kinds of interviews, which shocked me. I was the interviewer, and Ulysse was the contestant when it came time for the interview. He’s off to a wonderful start with only a few words and a confident handshake, which I’m sure will impress not only me but many others. other potential employers Then there’s eye contact; unlike the other candidates I interviewed, whose eyes are always shifting and not focused on a single place, Ulysse has very aggressive eye contact. While keeping our eyes fixed on the interviewer, we are highly concentrated on our point of view. However, I saw that he was only staring at the questioner, and I believe that he should glance at both the interviewer and the observer to get a more complete picture of the encounter. Next, when it came to answering interview questions, he did an excellent job since he used not just details but also intertwined hand gestures and voices to generate sympathy with the interviewer. The job-related inquiry for clients is one of the replies that I, along with the DJ, find the most fascinating and persuasive. Even if it’s just a school interview, he oozes confidence and is quite honest while answering questions, demonstrating that he truly cares about his clients. In general, he is a great interviewee who is enthusiastic about his work. It’s my chance to take part in the competition. The first thing I felt was uneasiness and anxiety, because this is my second probationary term since being in Canada, and I was always worried that I would fall short. In comparison to the folks here, I lack some experience. However, I continue to make every effort to be confident to succeed in this interview. The first problem for me is emotional and spiritual, followed by responding to questions during the interview process. I am aware that my answer is legitimate, but as I analyze it, it appears to be moving increasingly off-topic, which is a terrible point that I need to address in the future. Finally, it was the hand gesture, since I was still apprehensive and a bit uncomfortable, so my hands were rubbing against one other, which I believe distracted or lost the judges. sympathy. Aside from the disadvantages, some of the qualities that I see throughout the interview process include the ability to answer questions thoroughly and realistically, particularly when it comes to inquiries about enthusiasm. In my job in the cybersecurity field, as well as the topic of how to manage personal difficulties and circumstances, I provide a good response, which the interviewer interprets as greater sympathy. So, aside from the areas where I need to improve, such as hand gestures and answering questions in a more organized and cohesive manner, I find that I have learned a lot from this interview. At the same time, I’m continuing to hone my skills, such as offering good responses and engaging in the manner that I did. If I have a follow-up interview, I believe I will feel more confident in myself and be able to persuade numerous companies.
