The Career Center will hold Mock Interviews on Thurs., Sept. 22 from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. in Davis 130. Students must sign up on Recruit-a-Bull before attending the session.
“The more practice makes perfect,” said Patricia Otero, employer relations coordinator.
Otero’s tips for preparing for the mock interview are practicing on your own and developing a short introduction for yourself.
The interviewers will be a mix of recruiters, alumni and faculty. Students will benefit from the sessions.
The Career Center will also have a Résumé Critique Session on Mon., Sept. 19, in Davis 130 from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.
The importance of the event is not for the employers to recruit finance majors. The working professionals volunteer their time to help students in every discipline.
Four companies are sending out employees to help students out to review their résumés. Students can benefit from a fresh perspective.
“A lot of people graduate, only having had career services people and advisers look at their résumés,” Otero said.
It’s the first time the Career Center has held this event. If students respond to it, “it will make a big difference” in how the Career Center will arrange future events, Otero said. Plans for future career preparation events include a session in the spring, which will have résumé critiques, mock interviews and business attire demonstrations.
