Mock Interview Process
The mock interview process was very helpful to my knowledge of a practical business interview. My interview was held at the Peter B. Lewis building and conducted by graduate accounting student Kamieka Hairston. The interview process began by her asking me who I am, what I plan to do in the future, and how I plan to get there. She then asked me a series of questions and required me to respond using the STAR (situation, task, action, results) method. My answers were thorough and I maintained excellent eye contact throughout the interview process. When the interview was completed, Kamieka told me I did an excellent job. She said the only thing I need to work on is speaking clearly. This mock interview allowed me to discuss my accounting aspirations with a student who has already completed her degree in accounting. It also helped me become aware of the interview process and the types of questions a possible employer may ask.

A good way to work on speaking clearly is to practice it all of the time in your everday life. If you have someone that you hang out with a lot, a girlfriend, sibling, or roommate for example, have them correct you every time you say something unclearly. You wouldn't have ever noticed it yourself, and if you have someone point it out to you, you might be surprised by how often you actually do it.
