Workshop 1
Workshop 1
During the recent mock interview conducted in room A.813, I reviewed the interviewee’s
resume and prepared a set of questions to facilitate the conversation with Mr. Duong, a
candidate for a Digital Marketing Internship. By analyzing my performance as a manager
during a roleplay interview with Duong, I can identify areas of strength and opportunities
for improvement in my interviewing skills.
Prior to the interview, I meticulously reviewed the job description, identifying key
requirements such as campaign management, data analysis, and content creation skills.
This knowledge informed the development of a structured interview guide categorized
by the required skills and experience (SHRM, 2023). However, recognizing the dynamic
nature of the digital marketing landscape, I incorporated a question about a recent
marketing campaign Duong admired. This assessed his industry awareness and critical
thinking abilities.
As Duong spoke about his experiences, I practiced active listening. This involved
maintaining eye contact, nodding, and offering verbal affirmations (“I see,” “That’s
impressive”) to demonstrate genuine interest. When he discussed a successful social
media campaign for a charity, I leaned forward and used an open-ended question (“Can
you walk me through the challenges you faced and the strategies you employed?”) to
encourage further elaboration.
