TAFE Interview 2

The interview was dead easy, but there was probably going to be about 250 applicants for only 30 full time positions so the competition is pretty tough. I thought it was a bit strange though that the interviewer asked me lots of questions about my equipment, but not one about my motivations. I have no idea if that means that it doesn’t matter, or he thought I was crap and will never get in and therefore not bother. The other interviewers in the room asked about motivations and goals…

…anyway I find out next week. We shall see.

TAFE Interview

Tomorrow I will be heading off to an interview for a Photography course at TAFE. I studied Graphic Design at university, and while I still enjoy doing design work (I’ve still got a couple of websites and some posters in the pipeline) I don’t feel it is my life’s calling. The one thing that I noticed was that while I was at uni, you had a support network of people who wanted to see you succeed — professors, tutors, other students, visiting lecturers — something I don’t have now that I’ve decided to change my focus. I don’t have a specific photographic qualification, but worse than that I don’t have any real contacts in the industry, and I am hoping that this TAFE course would fill in the gaps in my knowledge, but also give me that support network to succeed. So I’ve spent this week putting a book together for the interview, and hopefully all will work in my favour tomorrow!
