Mock Interview

  I had my mock interview for the OT program today over zoom and I felt like the interview went pretty good overall. I was pretty nervous before going into the interview and I felt like I needed to have answers to potential questions in my mind that she might ask me. Then I decided to relax and just do my best and I think going in relaxed is the best way instead of having thoughts in your head about what you want to say. T o prepare for the interview I looked at the resources that was provided including questions to ask during an interview, common interview questions and answers, and words you should never use to describe yourself in an interview.

Some of us have an internal locus of control and some of us have an external locus of control. When an individual has an internal locus of control, they take the things that happen and make them a positive opportunity or experience. They believe that although something unfortunate has happened to them they ultimately can make the decision on how it impacts them. These types of people do not worry about tomorrow because they know they have no control over certain events. Furthermore, some individuals have an external locus of control. These types of people believe that events and things happen to them. These people tend to be more negative and try to think of different reasons why a certain solution will not work for the problem they are facing.              I have taken the questionnaire and was scored based off of Rotter’s Locus of Contro
