Mock Interview Policy
Mock interviews are a required part of the BUSM 30000 and BUSM 30100 curriculum and provide students an opportunity to practice and enhance important interview and professional skills.
Mock interviews should be taken as seriously as if they are a real job or internship interview. In addition to the educational experience that is received, there are possible networking and recruiting opportunities.
Interview Sign Ups
Students will sign up for mock interviews through Handshake. Detailed instructions will be provided in BUSM 30000 or BUSM 30100.
No sign-ups will be permitted after the window has closed. If you missed the signup window you will be required to reach out to Samantha Horn to discuss why you did not sign up. We cannot guarantee the day, time, or employer if you do not sign up during the specified time.
Interview time slots swaps will not be permitted between students unless both parties email Samantha Horn.
Cancellation and Missed Mock Interviews
Make-up interviews will not be permitted for missed or canceled interviews. Make-ups may be considered due to extenuating circumstances; documentation will be required and you must contact Samantha Horn.
If you miss or cancel an interview you will be required to send an apology email to the employer you were scheduled with and copy Samantha Horn on the correspondence.
It is the student’s responsibility to know what campus their interview will be taking place on. Not knowing what campus is not an excuse for missing an interview.
Day of Mock Interview
Please arrive 10 minutes early at your assigned interview location and check in with a Center for Career Management staff member. The staff member will check you in and let the employer know you arrived.
If you will be late to the scheduled interview, it is your responsibility to alert the Center for Career Management by emailing Samantha Horn. If you arrive more than 5 minutes late we cannot guarantee that the employer will see you. If this occurs you will be marked as a no-show and will not receive points for this assignment.
Professional attire is also required for mock interviews. If you have concerns or questions regarding the required attire please contact Samantha Horn.
