The Career Center offers several options to help you gain experience and confidence in your interviewing skills.

Perfect Interview

A computer-based program that allows you to select the types of questions you feel you need to work with most.  Your interview is recorded so that you may go back and review your answers.  You can also listen to sample responses to questions for ideas as to what type of information interviewers are seeking with specific questions.

Student-Led Mock Interviews

Sit for an interview with a trained mock interviewer who will select questions appropriate for a screening/initial interview for your field.  You will be videotaped so you can review your answers as well as non-verbal mannerisms.  You must sign up in advance; time slots are on a first-come basis and your résumé must be turned in 24 hours in advance of the interview.  Professional business attire is required for the interview.
