Before you start work on your resume, review free samples that fit a variety of employment situations. These examples and templates provide job seekers with resume formats that will work for every job seeker.
Don't just copy a resume example that you like. Instead, choose your resume very carefully. Review resume examples, choose a type of resume that highlights your strengths and achievements, review what information to include in your resume, and review a typical resume format before you start working on your own resume. Remember, your resume needs to impress the hiring manager enough so you get the interview. That means it needs to be perfect.

Job Interview

Definition:  

An interview is a personal meeting with a prospective employer to assess the qualifications of an applicant for employment for a job.
There are a variety of types of job interviews that employers may conduct, including behavioral interviews, group interviews, phone and video interviews, second interviews, and restaurant interviews. 

Mock Interview

'A mock interview is an emulation of an interview used for training purposes. The interview tries to resemble a real interview as close as possible, and provide experience for the candidate. The mock interview helps the job applicant learn what is expected in a job interview, and improve the applicant's self-presentation. Mock interviews are often videotaped, and the candidate is shown the tape after the session, along with feedback from the interviewer. The mock interview coach will provide constructive feedback on all aspects of the interview process. Mock interviews are most common for job interviews, but may also be used to train people to handle journalists.

The mock interview coach will try to make the interview as realistic as possible. Many of the questions asked are interview questions from actual employers. The mock interview and critique will last approximately one hour. The mock interview takes about 20 minutes, then the job seeker and coach watch the interview and discuss the job seeker's performance.

The mock interview focuses on self knowledge, past experiences, knowledge of the industry the applicant wishes to enter, and how well the applicant can convey that information. The job seeker gains the most experience from the mock interview if it is treated as an actual interview. The mock interview is a safe place to practice interview skills and gain feedback. It is also an area to gain the confidence and experience of giving an actual employment interview.

A mock interview, also known as a practice interview, is a simulation of an actual job interview. It provides you with an opportunity to practice for an interview and receive feedback.

During a mock interview, the interviewer may use a semi-structured interview format rather than asking a formal list of questions.

A mock interview helps you learn how to answer difficult questions, develop interview strategies, improve your communication skills and reduce your stress before an actual job interview.

Types of Mock Interviews

Many college career centers and career counselors offer in-person mock interviews. If you're a college student or graduate, check with your career office to see if they provide in-person or phone or video mock interviews. If you're not affiliated with a college or university, a careercoach or counselor in another option for practice interviewing.

You can make an appointment with a mock interviewer, and provide her with information on either a specific company with whom you are interviewing, or your general career field.

The more specific information you can provide for your mock interviewer, the better. The mock interviewer will often record the interview with a video camera.

Some career centers and career counselors also offer mock phone and online video interviews, and will record your interview on a tape recorder or with a webcam.

After the mock interview (which usually lasts about 30 minutes), the interviewer will then review the interview with you, and provide feedback.

How to Prepare for a Mock Interview

Be sure to take your mock interview as seriously as you would an actual interview. Get ready for the interview just as you would for an interview with a hiring manager:

  • Arrive 10-15 minutes early, and bring your resume and any other materials you would bring to a real interview.
  • Bring a notebook to take notes on what your mock interviewer tells you.
  • Dress in professional interview attire.

You should also prepare answers to general interview questions before arriving. Here's more information on mock interview questions including sample questions and answers you can review to get ready for your interview.

If you are having a mock interview to prepare for a specific job or career field, also review these job specific interview questions.

Mock interviews are an ideal way to practice for real job interviews, because you are in a situation that mirrors an actual interview with a company. When you review your interview with the interviewer, you'll be able to modify your responses and interview behavior, if necessary.

Set Up Your Own Mock Interview

If you're not in a situation where you can participate in a mock interview with a professional counselor, recruit a family member or friend to help you practice interviewing. The more you prepare, the more comfortable you will be with interviewing. Here's more on how to get ready for an interview.
