What to prepare:
❑2 copies of your Resume
❑2 copies of your Cover/Application Letter
❑2 copies of the Interview Guide Rubric
Place these documents in a SHORT transparent (white) sliding
folder. Don’t forget to wear your formal business attire during the
interview.
***There will be 2 faculty members who will conduct the interviews,
that’s why you need to prepare 2 copies (1 for each interviewer).
Yes, this is just a MOCK job interview, but I hope you don’t
settle for mediocrity. Remember that good enough isn’t
good enough, if it can be better; better isn’t good enough, if
it can be BEST. Good luck! ☺
