Mock Interviews for Career Switchers - 2010-2011
The Center for Student Development offers special blocks of mock interviews to help School of Education Career Switchers prepare for upcoming job interviews. The next block of mock interviews will take place during June 6-10.) Mock interviews give students a no-consequence opportunity to learn how to excel in a high-pressure interview. Each student will receive a half-hour interview, followed by twenty minutes of live and written feedback, and will leave with a DVD of their session for later review.
"Outstanding feedback on how to translate my career experience to teaching. Well worth my time." - Mark Foldy, 2010 "Excellent learning experience. Should help me knock the interview out of the ballpark." - Ana Casey, 2010 |
