Participate in a mock interview.

Participation should include the opportunity to practice interviewing skills prior to an actual interview. Students should play a variety of roles to illustrate interviewee behaviors both desirable (e.g., maintaining eye contact, asking informed questions) and undesirable (e.g., speaking too softly, failing to answer questions completely). 

Process/Skill Questions:

• How can a job applicant prepare questions to ask during an interview?
• What might it indicate to an interviewer when an interviewee fails to maintain eye contact?
• What are soft skills needed to be successful in a job?
