Interviewing
After working hard on your job application materials, you receive an invitation for
an interview. What do you do next? A great first step is scheduling a mock interview
with Career Services. Career Services can help you communicate with confidence, refine
your personal career branding portfolio, and help you to understand the importance
of strategically interviewing for maximum return on your time and efforts. A mock
interview allows you to get immediate feedback on your interviewing skills and valuable
practice in a supportive environment.
Whether you are conducting a first-round interview via Zoom or delivering a job talk
in person, keep in mind that it is not just a chance to highlight your experiences,
accomplishments, and skills. An interview is also an opportunity to show off your
personality and enthusiasm for the position. Even the most experienced professionals
can improve their interviewing skills. So, it does not matter if this is your first
time interviewing for a professional job, or you are an experienced interviewee, you
will want to take some to prepare for any interviewing opportunity that you have been
presented with.
