Mock Interview Program

"The mock interview was great for 'getting the bugs out' and a good overall dry run. Thanks!"

A mock interview allows you to "role play" a job interview on videotape and receive constructive feedback from a trained mock interviewer. The session lasts an hour and a half. This is plenty of time for you to be interviewed, review the video, and discuss how you did with your interviewer.

Contact Lauren Sweetman at lsweetma@bowdoin.edu or x3717 to see which mock interviewer is available and best suited to interview you. Out of respect for our mock interviewers busy schedules, you should be in contact with Laurie at least one week before you would like to have your interview.

The Career Planning Center also regularly invites alumni and recruiters to offer practice interviews when they are on campus. In the past year, this included professionals from public relations, consulting, finance, and government affairs. These are publicized through the eBEAR calendar.
