The Edward and Lynn Breen Center for Graduate Success will host the spring 2019 Mock Interview Mania Week on Monday, March 18, through Friday, March 22.<\/span><\/p>\n

The mock interviews give students the opportunity to meet with experienced employers to help develop their interview skills and professional etiquette. Students will be able to prepare a list of questions that they would like to ask their target employer. The interviewer will take time at the end of the interview to provide feedback on the entire experience. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe encourage students of all class years and all majors to consider participating in a mock interview,\u201d Brynn Mason, assistant director of career development, said. \u201cIt provides the students with an opportunity to gain interview experience and receive on-the-spot feedback and constructive criticism to help them be better prepared for those job, internship and graduate school interviews.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

To prepare for this interview, it will be important for students to act as if it were a real interview in their target industry. Students should make sure to dress and act professionally during the interview. <\/span><\/p>\n

Spring 2016 was the first Mock Interview Mania Week at LVC, and students have had positive feedback from their experiences ever since. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI had a great experience in my mock interview,\u201d Megan Finlan, a sophomore English major, said. \u201cMy interviewer really made it feel like I was in an actual interview and her feedback at the end will definitely be useful when I’m preparing for interviews in the future. I would definitely participate in another mock interview in the future.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

This experience is a great way for students to build confidence in answering interview questions and mastering skills like a confident handshake, making good eye contact and sitting with good posture.<\/span><\/p>\n
