A mock interview is an interview where you practice real interview situations. It will help the potential candidates to know the real job settings. You will be able to practice the responses to the commonly asked interview questions.
How to prepare for a mock interview?
You need to take up a mock interview as seriously as you would take a real interview. The below-mentioned suggestions can be of help:
The best thing while you give a mock interview is, make sure the person who is taking the mock interview is a professional.
Interview with multiple people
The more you practice, the more you will get better at it. You should practice for a mock interview multiple times with multiple people.
Recreate the interview setting
You will get the real settings, irrespective of whether it is an in-person mock interview, group interview, or over the phone or video call.
Research the company before the interview
One question that many employers ask is “What do you know about your company”. To answer this question and be more confident about the interview, you need to research the company and the position thoroughly.
Dress as a regular interview
Everyone knows that the first impression is the last impression and this is where appropriate dress comes into the picture.
Keep your CV and other documents ready
As in the case of a real interview, you will carry a CV or resume along with other documents. You should prepare all the documents, including CV and other relevant documents.
Practice the interview questions using the STAR method
Interview questions can be really tough if you do not practice them. There are various ways to draft the answers. One such method is the STAR technique.
