What to expect from the program

  • By practicing with a professional you will have the opportunity to apply your interviewing strategies through a live simulation and receive feedback in real-time.
  • You will engage with and answer behavioral questions over the course of 45-minutes with the professional.
  • You will communicate via a phone/video call where the professional will facilitate the interview and provide feedback.
  • The questions the interviewer asks are often questions you would encounter on a first-round interview for a position at their company.  They will be behavioral questions.
  • Individual times will be coordinated by each student and interviewer pair. Each session is 45 minutes long.
  • We will connect you with your interviewer. It is then up to you and your interview to determine a mutually agreed upon time for your session. Your interviewer will contact you via your agreed-upon platform at your confirmed time.

How should I prepare for my practice session?

  • Find a quiet space with quality internet and phone service to take your practice interview session.
  • Prepare yourself for this practice interview as you would a real interview in order to get the most benefit from the exercise.
  • Please make sure to agree upon and confirm your interview time, platform (phone, Zoom, etc.).
