What is a Mock Interview?
The purpose of a mock interview with an employer is to provide you with an opportunity to practice your interviewing skills in an environment similar to an actual interview. Mock interviews are a great opportunity to become familiar with commonly asked interview questions and interview etiquette. The Pomerantz Career Center offers mock interviews each semester to allow individuals to practice and improve their interviewing skills. Employers volunteer their time to perform mock interviews while also taking the chance to meet students who could be perspective employees in the future.
