Could your mock interview become a real interview?

Could your mock interview become a real interview? Professionals coming from FedEx this Wednesday and Friday particularly requested Business students and mentioned Marketing, Finance/Accounting, HR, and general business.

The practice interview program gives students a chance to hone their interview skills by receiving honest feedback about the way they dress (although professional dress is not required, business casual is recommended), how they ask and answer questions, their handshake, eye contact, and other subtle (and not-so-subtle) behaviors that may be impacting how potential employers perceive them. This program has benefited many students and, although not the purpose for the program, some students have received offers for jobs and benefits as a result of these mock interviews.

Students sign up on HANDSHAKE under the Jobs tab, then selecting On-Campus Interviews. They must upload a resume in Handshake in order to sign up.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Carole Weldon (contact information below).
