1. What is the mock interview portion of the event?

Mock interviews are offered to junior and senior students, and provide the opportunity to practice an important skill in a real world setting with area professionals. This portion of the event will be "free flowing". As students check-in they will be paired with an interviewer. If all interviewers are matched then students will wait until an interviewer is available.

2. When will it start?

Interviews will begin at 10:20am and go until around 1:50pm. Juniors and seniors are encouraged to participate in an interview once released from the keynote, before they start visiting with the exhibitors.

3. How long will the interviews last?

Individual interviews will last approximately 20 minutes. They may be shorter or longer depending on how prepared the student is and how many questions the interviewer has.

4. Where will mock interviews be conducted?

Mock interviews will be held in a separate conference room of the Convention Center, away from exhibitor activities. The room will be setup with rows of tables and chairs for interviewers and interviewees. The exact room location will be sent prior to the event, and clearly marked the day-of!

5. What types of questions will be asked?

Standard questions encountered in an interview for a real world job. Interviewers will be provided a list of sample questions for the interview as well as a feedback form; however, the interviewer will ultimately determine what questions he/she asks and the feedback provided.

6. Do I need any special experience to be an Interviewer?

Nope, just an interest in helping our youth prepare for their future!
