Interview Preparation

The interview explores a candidate’s interests and qualifications beyond what is provided in a résumé, application, vitae or cover letter. The interview is a two-way process. While the interviewer’s goal is to find the best candidate, the interview is also an opportunity for the candidate to gain insight into the position and organization to determine if it is, in fact, a good fit.

The Fleishman Career Center provides individualized consulting support at every stage of the interview process, along with a collection of online resources and flexible options to receive guidance that fit your schedule and needs.

Preparation

Schedule an interview preparation appointment, or stop by during drop-in hours (Monday–Friday, 12–4 PM) , to get support with researching the employer, crafting strong responses to common interview questions, reviewing interview etiquette, and more. These are discussion-based sessions where you work collaboratively with a consultant to prepare.

Practice

Big Interview is an online platform that helps you build confidence and strengthen your interviewing skills. You can practice answering questions through video-recorded mock interviews, get instant feedback on delivery, and explore training modules on industry-specific questions.

Feedback

Mock interview appointments offer a simulated interview experience with personalized feedback from a career consultant. These sessions are especially helpful if you share details about your upcoming interview in advance while scheduling, allowing us to tailor the questions and make the practice feel as realistic and relevant as possible.
