When I made it to the state level of the junior Miss scholarship competition, my coach,Tracie, decided to mandate two hours of mock interviews a few days a week. Tracie sometimes even videotaped (gasp!) my interview.
I actually found myself enjoying the challenge and learning how to improve my interview skills, even though the video revealed some regrettable and hilarious raffles.
editor's note
Still, I was a teenager and sometimes had other things I'd rather be doing.
I felt interviewed-out as my two wours were up during one time.
session. My mind wandered to pressing teenage concerns of finishing my homework and what I should wear the next day.
While I was deciding whether to wear my hair wavy or straight, Tracie sprang one last question on me. Current events.
"A blue grape!" I blurted out, I had no idea that the U.S. government was facing imminent attacks of blue grapes. Tracie raised her eyebrow at me and gave a you-better-stay-focused look.
She asked about my position on the government's involvement in the Abu Ghraib scandal. I snapped out of my mindless thoughts and back into the room.
It wasn't until college that I really started to appreciate those mock interview sessions. I knew to take off my passion pink nail polish, dress conservatively and eliminate awkward "uhs" and "umms" from my responses. I understood my strengths and weaknesses. I knew how to gracefully tackle unexpected questions and knock the ones I had prepared for out of the ballpark.
Heather's story on page 9 provides professional interview tips, some unbelievably bad interview experiences and how to schedule your own mock interview on campus.
