Video-taped mock interviews are practice interviews conducted by a career services staff member. They are available on a first come first served basis and are scheduled for one hour. During the first 30 minutes you will be interviewed by a staff member and during the final 30 minutes you will review and discuss your interview.

Because mock interviews fill up quickly, especially when on-campus interviews are taking place, we recommend you call for an appointment ASAP.  Do not wait until you have a job interview coming up or a class assignment due.  The earlier you have a mock interview, the more time you have to incorporate changes and improve your interviewing skills.

To schedule a mock interview, call Career Services at 312-996-2300 for a mock interview appointment. Please call early because there is limited space each week!

Dress professionally for your interview and bring a copy of your resume.  All mock interviews will be held in the Career Services Office, 3050 Student Services Building.

Areas that are evaluated during the mock interview include the following:

• Quality of your resume
• Professional appearance
• Self confidence and enthusiasm
• Non-verbal communication
• Presentation of skills, abilities, and accomplishments
• Relating experiences and skills to the job requirments
• Clarity of goals and future plans
• Questions for the interviewer
