Mock interview

 

My mock interview

Feedback and response

      
  • You were very well spoken and showed confidence throughout with maintaining eye contact with the interviewer
  • You seemed well prepared to answer questions: there didn’t seem to be any hesitation which shows you have come well organised.
  • You demonstrated your knowledge about the BBC particularly, and their career routes and apprenticeships they have available for younger people.
  • You were able to identify your strengths and weaknesses, specifically within your own constructive criticism which you have identified could either be both a strength and weakness.

Some feedback for any future interviews you have:

  • When an interviewer asks you to tell them about yourself, feel free to talk about any of your hobbies or interests, along with talking about what you do for college. This makes you more personable to the interviewer, and they can get to know your personality.
  • When possible, make your answers slightly longer for particular questions. For example, when identifying strengths and weaknesses, talk about when you identified those strengths and weaknesses about yourself. Always give reasoning to particular answers that you have given.

Other than that, it was a great mock interview that you showed you did plenty of planning and preparation for. Well done Seb


- I am very happy with the feedback i received, particularly with compliments on my confidence, articulation and orginsation, which are all things i often have problems with. I am glad that i prepared for the possible questions, i found that it really helped me as i was not taken by surprised by any questions as i already knew how to answers them. I am also glad that i prepared research about the companies i was being interviewed for, as i found that knowledge about the company makes you come across as a passionate and dedicated candidate

This feedback has also allowed me to identify points where i can improve on future interviews. If i were to do this interview again i would talk about myself more personally when the interviewer asks me to tell them about myself as it allows them to get a better idea of my personality, interests and who i am as a person.

The next section is a list of work i am particularly proud of including my Culture in a digital age documenta...

designing a business card

  Designing a business card.pptx from SebCook3 Business card feedback The feedback i have received on my business card has helped me narrow down my decision regarding which design i should use. There is clearly a stronger design out of the 2 i presented and am confident that the design would be well received by a potential client or employer.  How I created my business card I created my business card using Adobe Photoshop. I decided to use this software as it has all of the necessary tools to create a well designed business card. Firstly, I used the shape tool to create the blue background, making sure to create it as a separate layer so i was able to put all of the other layers on top of it. I wanted to implement my logo onto my business card, however, since i created the logo all in different layers, i had to use the layer link tool in order to move all of the portions of the logo all at once. This also allowed me to copy and paste the logo from the logo photosh...

Creating a Showreel

Image
Researching into Showreels: A showreel is a short video showcasing someone's previous projects. It was a way to show their experience, what they specialise in creating, their style of filmmaking and what they are capable of. There are a few key elements of a showreel and they are: -Keeping it short in order to let your audience want more. you will find that most Showreels are   between 1:30 and 3 minutes long.    - Including your best work and present yourself as a professional and experienced filmmaker. - Using stock footage, visuals, graphics etc. to transition between different different projects.  Analysing existing Showreels:  I think this is a good example of a showreel. Firstly, the clips they show are short, snappy and visually pleasing, most only lasting 1-2 seconds. The use of short clips makes it so the audience can get a lot of different examples of the creator's work. It also lets the creator show more of their work in the limited time frame....
