Throughout the interview my lecturer filled in these question boxes with my answers to see what i said when posed with each one.
I believe I handled the interview well and my Lecturer said i did too, i have been in many interviews through the years so i do believe the experience helped me a lot there.
The one problem i found that i had to sell myself but i think I'm quite modest so therefore a felt it was difficult and borderline awkward when trying to explain my capabilities.
I know that confidence is a key characteristic that one needs to have in an interview but especially in the media industry, so i know that in interviews that will come up in future i know that i should go more in depth about my personal skills and make sure that the employer knows that i will be a great part of the team.
I did think it was vital to mention that i had a lot of team working skills and experience making films behind me because of the nature of the industry, working and collaborating with people all the time so one needs to be a team player. Also i let her know that whilst i am comfortable with being in a team i can still produce work on my own and independently with it still be at a high standard.
At the time of the interview i do believe i could have been dressed a bit more appropriately for it, i wore a hoodie and i know that from an employers point of view it makes you look as if you have no respect for the job role and that you can't put the effort in, so i know that in future i don't have to show up in a three piece suit but i need to remember that i am presenting myself, so if i look well dressed then it tells the employer that i am respectful, confident and collected.
