Shift Gears
We have had a lot of discussion in regards to interviewing this semester. We have mostly focused on the aspect of how to do well when getting interviewed. However, with the Learning Plan coming up, we will shift gears and give the interview. As such, what makes for a good interview? With the mock interview, the more I spoke with classmates about the interview, the main aspect that mattered when it came down to “how did the interview go” was who they got interviewed by. Some people are good at giving interviews, asking questions, creating a good environment for discussion, and being personable, while others do not facilitate these qualities. What are some tips on being a good interviewer? We have learned all the tricks of getting interviewed, now what do we do when we give the interview in order to make it worth the interviewee’s time and energy and ensure that we get all the information we need during the interview?

I agree with Joseph in that i'm not exactly sure how to make my interview a pleasant experience for the interviee. I feel that this is very important to do mainly due to the fact that many of the individuals we interview could be vital aspects of our network. If the interviewee is impressed with our interviews it is very possible that they could remember us later on in our careers.
