Interview Discussion
Interview preparedness is key regardless the type of interview one is attending. In this
interview although not formal and not for any work position expectation was that the answers to
the posed questions would be strait away. On the contrary, there was a feeling of uncertainty
from the respondent. This could have been as a result of these two factors; the respondent failed
to take the exercise seriously or the respondent was not confident with the provided answers.
Lack of self-confidence can lead to one failing an interview where they had all the right answers.
On the question what is professional appearance, expectation is that anyone can answer to
this but no. One can have an understanding about what is meant by certain words and phrases but
explaining what it exactly means becomes a challenge. Also, when appearance is mentioned the
first idea that comes to the mind is that of being smart in how one dresses. This appears a
common thinking pattern where even the interviewer while knowing the correct answer already
has a predetermined response. It is therefore wrong to assume that some things are too basic that
they cannot be part of the interview. A lot of emphasis is paid on how one looks while attending
an interview. However, while one should be appropriately dressed, it is not the number one
priority.

In regard to what are the respondents thought on linked in, the notion is there that linked
in is an online platform for professionals but beyond that there is little or no thought on its
importance. There is little consideration of linked in as formal platform instead of a social one.
