Personally I feel that I am pretty good at dealing with interviews as I have had a few different ones in the past for other types of jobs, such as 1 on 1 and group interviews. I think that this past experience has given me confidence in being able to handle other interviews I will have in the future to get a job in the gaming industry.
One other thing I think has given me skills to use in an interview is from doing a number of presentations in-front of my peers at university, I feel that doing presentations over and over helps build confidence and self esteem which is vital to bring to interviews so that you don't come across like you don't want to be there as it will significantly hinder your chances of getting through the interview and onto the next stage in the job.
Another skill it has given me is the skill of talking to openly talking to people in order to keep the conversation flowing with no awkward silences as it will help to make the interviewer to feel like you have a lot to say for yourself and can adapt to a situation quickly. Overall I think I am on the way to honing my interview skills, I just need to make sure that prepare properly for each interview by researching the company before hand and also getting other people to ask test interview questions so that when in the actual interview I can be clear and concise with my answers which will make a very positive impression on the potential employer.
Good here James. its good to see how you cope with the stress of interviews.
