The Mock Interview experience
A Mock interview will give you realistic practice with interview scenarios tailored to a job title. The practice will help build confidence, refine communication skills, and receive actionable feedback in a safe environment before engaging with real employers.
Please note: Mock Interview calls will be made available to you at different times throughout your course. You will have the option to schedule the call at a time that is most convenient to you, within the expected call window.
For your assignment, you will be asked to complete a series of mock interview phone calls using InStage.
Step-by-step Instructions:
1. Once you are logged into your InStage account (InStage Login), you will see your dashboard on the main homepage. It will show you all of your available (ready to complete) assignments, as well as upcoming and already completed sessions. You may also receive an email letting you know you've been assigned to a Mock Interview Assignment.
2. If there are any sessions under 'your Sessions' you can click on the Mock Interview Assignment title and start the session.
3. Once you are in the assignment, you will need to Add a Job to Begin. Your Interview questions will be tailored to this role.
Once you have populated the Job Title, you can find an actual job posting to interview for or simply click 'Continue.' If you add an actual job description the interviews will be more much real to what you can expect if you were interviewing for that exact position. You can copy and paste job descriptions from any job boards or LinkedIn.
