| We offer the Mock Interview Program at Career Services for students who would like a practice interview. To participate: |
- Call or drop-in to schedule an appointment.
- You will need to make two appointments.
- First Meeting: During the first meeting we inform the interviewee about what to expect during the interview. We will provide interviewing tips (e.g., professional address, how to answer questions). During this meeting you must provide your resume and a job description for the job you are applying (or the type of job) so that we can tailor the questions for the practice interview.
- Second Meeting: How quickly your appointment can be set depends on advisor availability and other demands on our schedules. Don't wait until the last minute to schedule mock interviews.
You have two options:
- Non-recorded - The appointment will be scheduled to last for one hour.
- Recorded – The appointment will last about 15 minutes. If you would like to have your interview recorded please let receptionist know. After your interview you will have an opportunity to watch the recording with your interviewer, to ensure that you are making the most effective presentation of your skills, abilities, and professionalism.
- Your interview will last no more than 20 minutes. The remaining time will be used for you and your advisor to discuss and critique your interview and to address questions you may have.
- Arrive early for the scheduled mock interview; dress in interview attire.
