On Sunday, the 19th of February, we were asked to
perform mock interviews by Mr. Hedley, our teacher for this course. The
interviewers include a team of three, including Mr. Hedley himself, along with
Hammam and Saleh. At the moment, it is exactly 9:18 am and the interviewee is my
classmate, Ahmed. As I have been
observing both Hammam and Saleh mostly, I noticed they seem to have some sort
of experience in interviewing, either through work or through personal/
academic training. Saleh’s English is excellent, whereas Hammam’s posture and
questions carry more…..what are the right words….experience and charisma.
Mr. Hedley is a very interesting interviewer; he doesn’t make
the interviewee feel uneasy or nervous, but rather, brings out confidence
whilst still maintaining that stern vibe. I’ve noticed that due to the language
barrier and multiple English levels in this class, many of my classmates seem
to lack either speech, expression, grammar, vocabulary or a mixture of
it all; due to this barrier, it’s quite difficult for them to express exactly
what they want to say.
However, my words should not be misunderstood, what I have
mentioned above does not deny the fact that ambition, effort and aspiration is
an integral part of everyone here.
My interview was rather interesting; Mr. Hedley was a rather comforting and amusing interviewer, but obviously one who observes your body language, english speaking skills and ability to converse effectively in an interview. The other two interviewers, my classmates, whom I am still not familiar with, had good ideas as to what they should ask and im confident I was able to answer all questions without struggling.
It was a very interesting assessment.
