Student Stories: Mock Interviews

First year students recently participated in mock interviews for their Communication in the Workplace course. Students prepped for the experience by identifying their dream job, developing an elevator speech and how to answer behavioral questions using STAR (Situation/Task, Action taken to resolve the situation, and the Result), and practicing with each other during class.

Students participated in one mock interview each. Interviewers were usually HR professionals from local companies such as Kaiser Permanente, Marriott Hotel, and Washington Vocational Services.
