LVC\u2019s Edward and Lynn Breen Center for Graduate Success hosted Mock Interview Mania for students interested in gaining interview skills on March 18-22. The annual program includes a practice interview with LVC alumni who have entered the professional world and hope to give advice to students as they plan their careers.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was asked questions relating to my field of study that were similar to questions I was asked in real interviews,\u201d Eryn Somers, senior early childhood and special education major, said.<\/p>\n

The interviews were scheduled in one-hour time slots throughout the week. Each day meant a new interviewer from a local company, and students scheduled for the same day would meet with the same interviewer. About half of the one-hour time slot would be allotted for the mock interview, and the other half would consist of critiques on performance, resume advice and a Q&A for any questions each student had for the interviewer.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was fantastic to gain experience,\u201d Kurt Harnish, junior English major, said. \u201cI think the process of the mock interview will pay off when I have real interviews in the professional world.\u201d<\/p>\n

Upperclassmen who participated in the process encourage underclassmen to get involved as soon as possible to give themselves early practice and preparation.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think more practice with interviews as an underclassman would have helped me to be better prepared when being interviewed for jobs as a senior,\u201d Somers said.<\/p>\n

Students who have experienced the process also recommend signing up for Mock Interview Mania in the future.<\/p>\n

\u201cI recommend all students participate in this process whether they get nervous about interviews or not because it helps prepare you for real-world situations,\u201d Harnish said.<\/p>\n
