Another interview, this time filmed

This week I was once again asked to take part in an interview and talk about the school in order to help people form a sort of advert for the school. Considering that the other people around me were reluctant to help these people, I decided to step up and give a service to our school.

I was asked some questions but expected to talk in depth for every question and this pushed me towards being more open and talkative which made me more confident when I spoke. I tried not to think about the fact I was being filmed, but rather thought of it as the interview I had last week. I took more pauses in order to think about what I was going to say so that I would be sure that what I was going to say not only made sense but also answered their question to their satisfaction. This activity made me think of possible ethical issues since I tried to emphasis the fact that this school was very international and has open arms for people from any nationality.

I spotted, however, a few things on which I could improve on. I sometimes felt like I was repeating myself when I didn't know what to say since I felt pushed to continue talking so I think that next time such a thing happens I should either take a pause to think or take a pause and expect the interviewers to ask me another question.
