day 17
type | self-reflection
Think about your last mock or real interview. Where did you go wrong? What is one thing you are going to do to help fix that?
(If you are doing this during the holidays, take a moment to ask family and/of friends, what are some of your communication strengths and weaknesses. Most often, these issues come up even when we are just discussing the latest trend with friends.)
why | unique issues
We all have different strengths and weaknesses. If you can identify your issues, you can (1) get better and (2) get your partner to help you improve.
hint | tell your partner
When you go into a mock interview with a partner you trust (or maybe someone you don’t know) tell them about the weakness you are currently working on and give them permission to provide you a deeper analysis of your performance in that area.
example | strategic setup
My strength is being strategic. This leads me to over-index on the strategic setup. When practicing I either over or under do it. Sometimes I overcorrect, and nerves lead me to forget what I wanted to say entirely.
