During a lecture as a group we split up into teams of three and we had to interview each other, we had to rotate and take on each role as the interviewer, interviewee and the note taker, this was a really good way for each of us to understand how an interviewer thinks and how us there interviewee should act during and interview.
Key elements needed during the interview
Being Passionate and confident shows that you have the ability to trust yourself and what you know a company/studio would not want to hire someone who isn't confident in themselves, showing how passionate you are will really shine through to the interviewer.
Keeping eye contact and being generally friendly breaks the ice with the interviewer straight away allowing for a smoother experience during the interview which can then lead to the interviewee's calmness, pushing forward your own ideas really shows how passionate and creative you are things like this interviewers will remember.
Keeping up your overall presentation to really sell yourself plays a massive part of the interview, be engaging and speak clearly.
Things not to do during the interview
Being nervous is okay as no matter who you are when going for an interview they will always be nervous but being overly nervous to the extent where it freezes you up and stops you from talking this is really when being nervous can ruin your chance of a job.
Being over confident can also ruin your chances, you can come across very arrogant and working in the games industry you will always be working in a team so you have to be a team player, being arrogant and acting like they need to hire you will look as if you only care about yourself and would not be very loyal to the company and the team you could potentially be working in.
