    Mock Interviews

    Participants may also sign up for mock interviews. These sessions provide the opportunity to hone your interview skills and have someone review your resume. The mock interview time should focus on asking interview-style questions, followed by the mentor providing the interviewee with feedback regarding the entire process, including professionalism, resume, cover letter, and any other topics that might help the interviewer. 

    Appointment Details

    You will receive an email no later than the day before your session that includes information about the person you'll be connecting with. If your advising session/mock interview is being conducted via Zoom, that email will include a link for your online meeting. If your advising session/mock interview is being conducted via phone, that email will include contact information for the advisor/mock interviewer. We have asked that the advisor/interviewer call their participant at the selected time.

    Interested?
