interview

I'm going to use this blog simply as a diary and memorandum for keeping what I think it is important. I heard one of the technique to collect useful information effectively. Writing down anything you think important and revise it at the weekend. I'm not sure I'm so diligent, but I agree with the idea.

Recently I have been going to an office for my work placement, but today I had a schedule to have an interview in college, so I took a kinda day off for the interview. The interview were around noon, so in the morning I used my time to prepare for it. As the points that I need to tell were very simple, it didn't take a lot of time actually. Even I felt a bit uneasy because I noticed that I didn't have a lot of things to show or explain a lot.

What is my advantage? It is always a difficult question, since I'm not confident about anything of my skills, but I've got used to pretending as if I have some skills. Actually, I might have some skills, but I haven't articulated it yet, and I think it means almost same thing.

Then, the interview.
I think I never get used to interviews. This interview was not so important, I had even felt I wouldn't care if I failed the interview. In spite of my thinking, my body became nervous. At least, I might have learnt from some experience how to deal with it, so fortunately the interview was not so horrible. The interview was for a collaboration project with a business school, so the interviewer showed a simple financial report and asked me what I can guess. I think that is the only special point of the interview. Other points were almost same as other interviews. All I should do is to show my advantage. I think it was not so bad verbally, but I'm not sure emotionally. The project is partly about entrepreneurship, so I needed to look like an person who has a potential to be an entrepreneur. Actually, I don't know who is better for an entrepreneur because there are a lot of argument about it, but generally leadership, confidence and so on are regarded as important traits for it.
