STEP Eight was honestly a really enjoyable experience for me! As an entrepreneur whose business is solely based on herself, I do not really have a team to introduce to students or an office for them to tour since I work at home, and there are no meetings I can invite them to sit in. This is why it was so pleasantly surprising that you considered me as a potential host, and what I gained from the experience was also a lot more than can really be put into words. From my own experience, I really enjoyed the flexibility of the event - even in such a short span of time of around 3-4 days, I was able to go through those processes we mentioned in the first question: embrace, analyse, discuss and authenticity. I especially found the mock interview really interesting because it gave me a chance to individually get to know the students better. Getting to know them on an even more personal level, allowed me to give them really specific feedback or comments regarding how they can improve for future interviews.
