Photo: Mock interviews prepare students for life after college
In these tough economic times, recent college graduates will need every advantage they come by when trying to find a full-time job.
One of these advantages includes attending as many career fairs as possible and familiarizing oneself with the interview process well before a first official interview.
As a part of the Fall 2011 Career Series, Hofstra University’s Career Center held two mock interview events Nov. 3-4 by bringing in local employers to hold simulated interviews with graduating students.
Students were each assigned a 30-minute appointment to present a résumé to the interviewers, participate in a one-on-one mock interview and receive critiques and suggestions on both their interviewing skills and résumé.
Companies participating in the event included Target, Brookhaven Laboratory and Enterprise Rent-a-Car.
Most companies that participate are interviewing for a number of jobs on a local level including internships, part-time and full-time positions following the student’s graduation.
With the proper preparation, the prospects of finding a full-time job straight out of college still exist.
