A few days ago a mentor from high school contacted me with an internship opportunity and told me to go for the interview. The position wasn’t much, but it was a chance to get a feel of a professional environment and see how things work. I had previous experience with interviews, so I knew some questions they would ask, like my strengths and weaknesses. My mentor helped go over my resume and modified some parts to make it better. The interview wasn’t too long, maybe 10 minutes or so. The interviewer was more interested in seeing how I reacted to situations in an office, like if there was a conflict between my coworkers and I. Also, they wanted to know more about my other interests or hobbies. This helped them see more of who I am as a person than on paper. Then, it was more of the basic questions like what my goals are and what I can bring to the office. They also gave me some curve balls with questions like what would I do if my weakness hindered the team’s success. Overall, the experience of going to an internship interview in an actual professional setting was much different than just at a part-time job. Since my mentor knew the person who interviewed me, they were able to give me some feedback on my resume as well. I felt this interview helped me figure out what areas I could improve during future interviews for a job or another internship opportunity.
