Last Thursday I had an Interview with my CO (Commanding Officer) about a few ideas and concerns I had about my experiences in the Cadet Organisation.
I used a multitude of Interpersonal Skills in this interview such as; Politeness, I was polite as I wanted to get my ideas across in a good manner as well as being polite so as not to give the CO a bad impression of me.
I had confidence so that I knew what I was talking about, the benefits of this and also the fact that I wanted to show him that I knew what the ending outcome of these ideas would be.
Of course as this was a small interview about my Ideas and Concerns I had to listen as well as take in constructive criticism and also get my ideas across. When I was portraying my ideas I was using a friendly tone of voice, used eye contact and had good body language so that my ideas made some kind of sense and that he was understanding them and I was also very enthusiastic about my ideas to make them seem fun and enjoyable by everyone.
When I was listening I often provided feedback as well as keeping an open mind to criticism and new ideas. With the concerns I had I used technical language and backed up my concerns with evidence of why it was happening and how things would be better if they were sorted.
I used questionning skills when the CO said things which didnt make much sense and I had to ask him what he was talking about.
I left the interview with a Positive attitude and since then these Concerns have been mostly Sorted and my ideas are beginning to shape the Squadron and change the way things are run.
The Interview was successful. :)
