Listening

Today in class we experimented with a listening exercise. We got in pairs of two; one of us talked for 60 seconds and the other person had to listen to what the other person was saying without interrupting. This exercise was harder than is sounds. I had trouble not interrupting my partner, it’s not like I wanted to butt in, I just wanted to say I agreed with what she was saying which was going to let her know I was paying attention.  This exercise shows the importance in listening because when conducting an interview it is crucial that your actually listen to the person that you are interviewing. It makes the interview more conversation and more enjoyable for everyone.
