Practice Interview Program

Supported by our partner

The practice interview program assists School of Management students in developing vital career skills.

This program, which has won a state award for excellence, is required for undergraduate students as part of the school's core career curriculum.

To make your practice interview as realistic as possible, the Career Resource Center (CRC) uses proven corporate human resources training methods to develop our staff of volunteer student interviewers. Students must submit a résumé and job posting prior to the interview. Practice interviewers ask both behavior-based and traditional interview questions based on the résumé and job posting submitted by the student. The practice interviews are conducted both virtually and in-person in the fall and spring semesters.

The CRC has partnered with Enterprise Mobility to bring you this award-winning program, which culminates in the Enterprise Mobility Interview Challenge.

Note: Students enrolled in MGG 315 (formerly MGG 398) will complete a practice interview as part of their course.

Become a Practice Interviewer

“The CRC’s practice interview program is awesome! I volunteered for this program and thereby got a chance to sit on the other side of the table (interviewer) and understand the common mistakes that we commit during an interview. Understanding the interviewer’s perspective helped me a lot while preparing for my own interviews. ”

“One of the managers I interviewed with stopped me after the interview and told me that I blew her away when I asked for the job at the end of the interview. She said no one does that. Being a practice interviewer really paid off for knowing little details like closing the interview. ”
