Online Interviews...practice makes perfect.

I thoroughly enjoyed my time interviewing & being interviewed by the one & only Mr. Seth. He maintained a professional manner the whole time & did a good job of making me feel comfortable as an interviewee. I appreciated the questions he had prepared for me & felt I learned a lot from the experience.

I interviewed Seth first. He is hoping to land an internship with Nike. Here were the questions I came up with...
-tell me a little bit about yourself.
-why do you want this internship? What makes you excited about working for Nike?
-what do you have to offer to the creative board here at Nike?
-tell of a time you successfully lead a team or project?
-what are 3 of your strengths?

Seth had an experience and story to back up each question I asked. He kept his answers clear and concise and answered each question with confidence. I was hoping to see more of his personality show through the interview, but it is sometimes tough via Skype. Overall, Seth earned my vote for landing that internship (:

As an interviewee, I appreciated how Seth came up with questions directly from my resume. I was happy to elaborate on what I have currently been involved in. On his final question, I did find myself a bit stuck. However, with a bit of encouragement from his end and collaborative brainstorming, we worked together to improve my response. I now have the perfect PAR story to share for my next interview!

Interviews will always be a bit scary, but taking the time to practice & prepare NOW will help me go in with confidence when the real deal comes around.
