PORTFOLIO_2: Reflective Writing
Interviews can be a part of a positive as well as a negative experience which may carry a lot of
learning in both the aspects. Scoring in an interview can feel like a huge deal but there are certain
trick points which can assist in clearing a successful interview. There are certain questions that
can be tricky while some just need mental presence and attention to be attempted. In my past
negative experiences, the most unenthusiastic was of not able to answer the simplest questions
that just needed some sort of soft skills to attempt. The questions were certainly confusing and
critical to be answered which made my interview slightly tough but the lessons that I learnt from
this negative interview were worth it (Mathrick, et. al, 2017).
The skills such as communication, teamwork, leadership, adaptability, critical thinking and work
ethic are very much crucial and helpful at the time of interview. The skills can lead to crack a
fruitful interview but the most important term is utilizing this skills at the most appropriate
circumstances. There are various other skills that I practised over time which also assisted me to
compete in the interview. I gained learning about the ways in which I needed to answer such
kind of typical questions so that the interviewer can get knowledge about the skills and
competencies that I possess. The situation that was making me curious was of the way in which
interviewer was continuously changing the question completely. The solution that I best thought
for the situation was of sticking to a single particular question and then answering it in a tricked
way so that the interviewer gets the right answer but also gets confused at the same time.
The positive outcome of the situation was that the interviewer got the answers that he desired and
appreciated me for them but also at the same time the negative aspect was of the way in which I
answered the question. The different thing that I could do at the next time is by adopting the new
ways of answering the questions by enhancing my communication skills. The best ways to
enhance the communication skills is by constantly practising the most frequent questions that are
asked in the interviews so that I could get comfortable with the ways of answering the questions.
The most important things that I learned from the interview was that preparation is the key to
solve the interviews and sometimes it's just a bad day and I should just get back to the
preparations for enhancing my skills so that I could get selected on the next interviews. The
positive impacts were the learning's that I gained and the negative impact was that I certainly lost

my confidence for not being able to clear the interview and for enhancing my confidence I
started staying away from the negative things, changed body language and I created a great list
for the most possible ways to succeed in the next interviews (O'Neill and Rehfeldt, 2017).
