I like to interview for jobs that I don't really want.

More than anything, our mock interview reminded me how much I do not like doing mock activities. I am bad at acting and everything that entails, but in a real interview I feel like I know what I am doing. I like to apply for jobs that I don't even want but I just want the practice and to see what things different companies do. I have an interview this Thursday with a company that does medical software and it is interesting but there is a really small chance of me accepting an offer even if they extend it to me, but I enjoy doing it and if they do offer me something that is really appealing then it will be a win win. I kept looking at my desk because of my tendencies to avoid acting, in a real interview I am a lot more engaging with the interviewer and there is a lot more energy. I think I articulated my goals and skills pretty well and hopefully didn't sound like I was overdoing it. The advice I would give is not for everybody and not always possible, but, like I said earlier, I prefer doing a real interview for a job that is less important before going into an interview for a job I really want.
