We’re here with info to help you before, during and after!

Schedule a Mock Interview with a Career Coach
Mock interviews are offered by career coaches in our office. They are a great way to practice your interview verbally, then reflect on it through self-evaluation and feedback from the coach. These interviews are by appointment only and can be conducted in-person, by phone, or Zoom. You can schedule an appointment through Handshake.

While the person conducting the interview likely has a copy of your resume, never assume that everyone you meet with will have seen. It never hurts to be prepared with additional copies.
Even if you are aware that employees of an organization dress casually on the job, dress more formally for the interview unless you are specifically told otherwise by the employer. The interview is a professional meeting and thus a more formal occasion than daily work. For additional questions, check out our section on interview attire.
There are many ways you can learn more about an employer. Talking to people, using the employer’s website, researching news sources, and contacting someone in the organization are all great places to start the research process. Visit the Research page of our interview prep section for more information.
You can expect a mix of general and job-specific questions during your interview. Visit our During an Interview page for a list of common questions, or download the list using the link below.
