Did you know that your Work Experience Coordinator offers mock job interviews by appointment through WaitWell? Mock interviews can result in very valuable feedback and tips to help you polish your skills and prepare to put your best foot forward when interviewing for our very competitive positions. Whether you have never interviewed for a position before or consider yourself an expert, there is always something you can learn from a mock interview. Here are some key reasons why you should consider booking one today:

• There are no risks in a mock job interview. You will be given a chance to answer each question to the best of your abilities, as well as an opportunity to discuss options, strategies and different approaches.

• Learn why an employer might ask a specific type of question. Understanding the motivations of the employer when they ask behavioral or hypothetical questions can be helpful when crafting your response.

• Become a master storyteller. Learn how to tell a story about your career journey (which encompasses work, volunteering and academics) that focuses on the most important details to ensure that you make a great first impression on the employer.

• See interviews holistically. In the interview room, what you say is just as important as how you say it. Learn how to make the most of the short time you have, focusing on verbal and non-verbal cues, body language, sentence structure and more.

• Mock job interviews are for everyone. We encourage anyone, from beginners to professionals to book mock interviews. If you have an interview scheduled, we can help. If you don’t, we can still help! Whatever the situation, please provide us with some information in your WaitWell booking so your Coordinator can plan accordingly.

The AWE team is dedicated to helping you be the most competitive applicant possible. Even if you don’t think that you need a mock interview, we recommend giving it a try - you never know what new information will help you get even more prepared! If you have an interview scheduled, but don’t have time to book a mock interview beforehand, reach out to your Work Experience Coordinator to get some quick tips and/or resources! We wish you all the best as you prepare to rock your interviews!
