Mock Interviews for Winter Semester begin the week of January 23 and run thru April 7.

A mock interview is a practice job interview with a professional that mirrors an actual interview with a company. It is a simulation of a real job interview, allowing students to practice for an interview and receive feedback on interviewing skills.

A mock interview helps you learn how to answer difficult questions, develop interview strategies, improve your communication skills, and reduce your stress before an actual job interview. When you review your mock interview with the professional interviewer, you can modify your responses and interview behavior, if necessary, to become more successful. This virtual mock interview program allows students to participate in mock interviews with our employer volunteer partners.
