The interviewer will be evaluating how friendly someone is top talk to, whether or not you appear stressed or comfortable and how clear and concise your responses are. Interviewers will often ask you questions such as:
Do you work well with other people?
How would you describe yourself?
What challenges have you faced? How did you handle them?
Do you prefer to work independently or as part of a team?
Why do you want to work here?
Describe a difficult situation/project and how you overcame it?
This video helped me to know what questions interviewers will ask and what the interviewee should talk about, this video also talks about what the interviewer will be looking for in an answer and how you should prepare yourself for the questions by thinking of answers beforehand and having notes written down so that you remember the key points. One of the common questions which are asked are 'where do you see yourself in five years?' commonly people will say 'becoming the CEO of the company', this won't sound grammatically correct, by saying 'five years from now I would like be in a management role, till the I would like to gain as much practical experience as I can', this shows the interviewer that you are committed to the company and are looking to stay with in the company for long.
There are many things to help you prepare for a university interview such as:
Be yourself
Get there 15 mins early
Research your course and the university
Make sure you read over your personal statement
Ask a teacher to give you a mock interview
Come prepared with a list of questions about the course.
Read about the subject you are applying for
Remember, it's not just about the university choosing you.
This video has helped me to be able to prepare for a university interview by knowing what type of questions universities tend to ask helps to be able to prepare my answers fro the questions so that I don't have to make things up on the spot. It also prepared me to know how to dress for a university interview. One of the questions they will tend to ask is 'why did you choose this subject?' and 'what made you choose this subject over other topics?', this shows the university that you've researched subjects and know which one is best suited to you and why. They also tend to ask you questions on what you have written in your personal statement so make sure you don't lie in your personal statement as they will pick up on these things and ask you about them.
Portfolio's
The design of this portfolio is aesthetically pleasing to the audience, the creator has used a white background to make the pictures stand out more and make them for attractive in the audience's mind. What I like in particular is that when you go on the home page you can instantly scroll through the images of 'Carson's' work as a timeline which looks professional and is eye-catching to the audience. The way the images are all the same size and have the same space between each image makes it look more attractive. What I also like about the design of this portfolio is that the navigational tool bar is on the side of the page which makes it easier and more accessible fro users when using the portfolio. Carson has also split his pieces of work into various topics such as 'Time off' this shows the collection of images Carson has created for that subject, which gives his pieces of work more background towards it and gives it a name/meaning behind his work. Carson has used simple colours such as black and white so that the images of his work stand out more and these colours compliment each other, he has also included simple colours such as green,pink and blue in many of his collections as these colours compliment each other and look attractive in a photo.
When you click on the 'about' page you are redirected to a different page where you can find some information about 'Carson Gilliland', for example I found out that he went to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln where he graduated from in 2017. This page also includes the exhibitions where his work had been presented and what years they were presented in to show the audience that he has had his work exhibited before where potential buyers could view his work, ask questions about the background behind his work and potentially buy a piece of his work. Carson has also included where his work has been published for the public to view his work and find out more about why he created that style of work and how he would like to adapt his work further. What I like about this page is that he has included a 'drop a line', section at the bottom of the page for viewers to ask him questions about his work whether that is what inspired him to create this piece or how he created the look that he wanted. I think that he could've included more information on why he chose to study media and photography and what inspired him to produce/create his work.
The design of this portfolio is eye-catching and aesthetically pleasing to the audience as it uses features such as being able to hover over images to read more about them. When you hover over an image it changes to the tittle of that piece of work where you can then click on the image to read more about it, this allows the audience to find out more information on the piece of work as well as adding an interesting feature which makes the page eye-catching to the audience. What I also find interesting about the design of the portfolio is that 'Mike Kus's' work has been displayed by having them right next to each other without including a space between each piece of work this makes the work stand out even more to the audience. What I also like about this design is by having the navigational toolbar at the top of the page make it more accessible to the audience.
Mike has included a small section about himself, he uses this page to explain what his role is and his 'upcoming speaking's'. This is used to
