The purpose of sending out resumes is to obtain an interview. During the interview you are not only trying to market yourself as the best candidate, but you are also evaluating the position and the company to see if it is the right fit for you. Interviewing can be stressful, but adequate preparation can help you feel more confident. Career Services offers two ways to practice your interviewing skills:

• Perfect Interview Simulator

Perfect Interview is an innovative multimedia software package complete with over 500 interview questions, answers, and hints, which have all been professionally produced on digital video.

The interview begins and the questions appear on the computer screen in full-motion video and sound. The user must answer on the spot, just like in a real interview.A digital video webcam automatically records and plays back the user's response, providing immediate feedback of how he or she might appear to a prospective employer.

Perfect Interview is great for jobseekers who need to see themselves as the employer sees them. The program allows users to view prerecrorded 'responses' to all canned questions, as well as a 'Coach' button that provides video advice on how best to answer the question.

• Mock Interviewing

You can sit down with a staff member and practice common interviewing questions. The staff member will provide feedback on how to best answer tricky questions
