Conducting mock interviews

For many students preparing for an interview is the most nerve-wracking part of the job/internship application process. The only way to overcome these nerves is by simulating a similar environment t with people who understand the opportunity description. This is done through mock interviews. While students can research common questions, prepare responses and practice in the mirror several times, practicing with another person and receiving critical feedback is essential to adequately prepare for an interview. Thus when giving mock interviews, it is important to know the right questions to ask, what to look for in assessing the students answer and how to give feedback that helps the student move forward in their preparation.
