PDP Tasks

Mock Interview:

Experience tells us that many of you might benefit from mock interviews. Furthermore, given how many meetings are moving online, it will benefit you if you had experience of doing this online. Find an advert for a graduate-level job that you would be interested in. Film yourself answering the following three out of the four following, ubiquitous job interview questions:

i) What motivated you to apply for this role?

ii) What motivated you to apply to our company?

iii) Tell us what you will bring to the advertised role/company?

iv) Tell us of a time where you have faced a challenge in a workplace and how did you overcome it?

Now the hard part: watch the video back and write a 300-word reflection on how you think it went. What would you watch out for in the future? Note: we are NOT looking for a polished video. We are looking for the quality of your answers, reflection and body language.
