Practice Interviews

In Person Practice Interviews

A great way to prepare for a job interview is to have an in-person practice interview with a career counselor. During the session the staff member will ask you questions for approximately 15 minutes and video tape your responses.

The remaining 45 minutes will be spent reviewing the video together and giving you specific tips on your interview strengths as well as ways to improve for the future. To schedule a practice interview call our office at 612-624-2710.

Online Practice Interviews-InterviewStream

InterviewStream is a webcam-based virtual mock interviewing tool that allows you to select interview questions, use a webcam to record your answers and immediately review your responses.

To get started, simply follow these steps:

  • Visit the InterviewStream web page.
  • Create an account, set up your webcam, pick your questions, and start interviewing.
  • Don’t have a webcam? Check one out from the Career and Internship services in 198 McNeal Hall. You can also reserve a computer with a camera at our 411 Science Teaching and Student Services location by calling 612-624-7577

Tip: InterviewStream works best with a fast internet connection.
