Mock Interviews

As a part of the first semester final, all MPGT Academy seniors participate in mock interviews facilitated by Academy business partners at the Ceres Community Center. During mock interviews, Academy seniors complete two rounds of interviews where students are scored on their interview performance and the quality of their resume. At the end of the interviews, students receive feedback from business partners in order to better prepare for future interviews.

Resume Building

During their first semester, MPGT Academy seniors work with Academy staff to create a personal resume highlighting their training, knowledge, and experience both inside and outside of the classroom. These resumes are built and edited as a class assignment and are used by Academy students during their mock interviews with business partners at the end of the first semester.

Professionalism

Not only are students responsible for completing a professional resume, all Academy seniors are encouraged to dress professional for their interviews. Assistance is provided for students who need help obtaining professional attire for their interviews.

Critical Thinking

The goal of mock interviews is for students to get real-world experience in a professional setting. MGPT business partners prepare for mock interviews the same way they do when hiring within their companies, with questions requiring critical thinking.
