Simulated Interview Preparation Procedures
The purpose of
a simulated interview is to provide you, as a student or alumnus, an opportunity
to practice the interview and get direct experience responding to
specific questions about what you want to do, and why, and how your
background has prepared you for the position.
The first portion
of your simulated interview will consist of a twenty-minute interview
in which you will be videotaped. During the second portion, you will
review the tape with the director and receive feedback.
Suggested simulated
interview preparation steps:
- Attend "Skills for Successful Interviewing"
workshop or the Interview Preparation hand out.
- Schedule a one-hour appointment with the director for a simulated
interview.
- Decide on what
type of position you will be interviewing for during the simulated interview.
- Identify a
hypothetical organization, and review information on the organization
to prepare for the issue of why you are interested in working for
that organization. You may use the material in the Career Library,
in the files on various organizations (corporations, non-profit
organizations, government agencies, school districts, hospitals,
etc.).
- If you are
unsure about the appropriate attire for interviewing, dress as
you would for the interview, and your interviewer will give you
feedback at the end of the interview session. If you are clear
on what is appropriate to wear, you may dress however you would
like.
- If you have any questions about the simulated interview, please ask
the receptionist, or the Career Services' staff.
