About Mock Interviews
This is where the rubber meets the road, here you will be able to continually practice all kinds of interview questions until you come away a lean, mean interviewing machine.
Step 1: Click PRACTICE INTERVIEWS on you navigation bar.
You’ll now see four main interview practice categories to choose from:
GENERAL - this section covers about 90% of the questions you’re likely to get in a job interview.
BY INDUSTRY – here you’ll be able to choose practice interviews from dozens of industries and job roles. This is NOT meant to replace the GENERAL interviews, but only to complement them by offering you some industry specific questions.
BY COMPETENCY – here you can choose from a variety of skill-sets and strengths your interviewer may be looking for in the right candidate.
ADMISSIONS INTERVIEWS – here you can practice interviews by program type and school, including undergrad, grad, business school, law school and med school.
Step 2: If you click GENERAL, you’ll be taken directly to a list of interviewers tailored to a wide array of types of experience. Whether you’re a C-Level exec wanting to polish up before meeting the board of directors, or you’re still in school trying to line up an internship, there are interviews in the GENERAL section to serve just about everybody.
If you click either BY INDUSTRY, BY COMPETENCY or ADMISSIONS INTERVIEWS, you’ll be then prompted to select the type of interview you’re interested in.
Step 3: You’ll now be prompted to “Give this interview a name.” For ease, most people name their interview based on the company they’re interviewing with (e.g. “ABC Company Interview”). This is especially helpful if you’re interviewing with multiple companies (or schools) who are looking for different attributes in their ideal candidate.
Step 4: Begin Your Mock Interview – click “Click Arrow to Start” (or the play button on the interviewer). This will begin playing an interview question.
To move to the next question you will click (as I’m sure you’ve guessed) “Next Question”. Now let’s take a brief look at the recording function.
Step 5: Recording & Reviewing – the recording buttons should be pretty self-explanatory:
Record (or Re-record) – to begin recording. There will be a 3 second countdown to give you a moment to prepare to answer.
Play Back - play back the answer you’ve just recorded for review.
Save – after recording an answer, you’ll have the option of saving by clicking Save, or discarding the answer by clicking Re-record.
Delete – if you’ve saved an answer, but then decided against keeping it, just click Delete to remove it.
Share – give you the ability to share a link to your answer with friends or colleagues for additional feedback.
Step 6: Visit YOUR VIDEOS to review your saved answers. Once an answer is saved you can do a lot with it including reviewing, rating and sharing. All of that is covered in the next lesson.
