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.).
