Advice from our Psychologists
The opportunity to practice for an interview provides a number of benefits. A mock interview helps to reduce your stress and anxiety about the actual interview process, particularly if this is not something you have previously experienced. It will also provide you with constructive feedback, given in a supportive environment.
A member of our psychology team will help you to understand how you can present yourself to the optimum, and give you specific guidance based on your performance in the mock interview. The mock interview also prepares you for the sort of questions you can expect to encounter in the real situation, so that you can answer more readily at the real event.
However, we suggest you do not try to over-prepare your answers, as these can come across as lacking authenticity. Overall, the mock interview process is designed to boost your confidence when you get an interview with the company you want to work for.
