BLOGGING

My Entertainment blog is about my opinions, about the storylines and I am passionate about expressing my views.

I have my own blog on movies and theatre. I enjoy doing the blog and it’s always a lot of fun. A recent blog I wrote about was on the “Mary Poppins” movie and I gave it a five star rating. I also write about and have my opinions on American Soapies like “Bold and the Beautiful”, “General Hospital” and “Days of our Lives”. I wrote about a holiday when my family and I went to Japan. One of the highlights there was meeting up with one of my old teachers, Lisa, and having lunch in Tokyo. I did a “Neighbours” tour with my mum and I wrote a blog about the tour.

I get to decide on what my opinion is on the interviewee and whether that person should get the job. ”

INTERVIEW SKILLS

My Entertainment blog is about my opinions, about the storylines and I am passionate about expressing my views.

I practised my interview skills and asking questions in my Client Committee group for some time. I always enjoy interviewing and it’s always interesting. Some interviews have been fantastic and some have been absolute disasters. I get to decide on what my opinion is on the interviewee and whether that person should get the job.

I am a big fan and I think it’s a beautiful movie. I had a tour of the Regency Theatre and interviewed Nicholas Hammond and asked him about his role in the movie. I write about this in my blog: https://occonnections.org/aidans_blog/
