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:

• InterviewStream 360

InterviewStream 360 is the leading practice interview system that allows job seekers the opportunity to see and hear themselves online. Using a webcam, individuals will be able to simulate job interviews by responding to pre-recorded interview questions and practice both verbal and non-verbal communication skills. Afterwards, all interviews are immediately accessible online for counselors, coaches and professors.

Job seekers can easily email their interviews to counselors, mentors and professors by using the InterviewStream system, using their email client (Outlook, Yahoo, etc.) or by generating a secure link to paste in an email. All recipients have to do is click a link (no downloading or attachments), and they are ready to watch the interview online from any computer.

• 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

Contact Career Services at (937) 512-2772  to schedule a timeslot for your personal interview with InterviewStream 360 or with a staff person. Short notice usage is usually available except during recruiting seasons when the product is being scheduled heavily.
