5 Reasons Not to Mock "Mock Interviews"

Puns aside, mock interviews are an awesome professional tool.

Here are five reasons participating in a practice interview with a real employer here on campus is a great idea:

1. Practice makes perfect. Especially when it comes to the all-important job interview. The more you prepare, the better you'll be when the real thing happens.
2. Feedback that's the "real deal." Get feedback straight from the horse's mouth--from real recruiters who hire candidates every day.
3. Network, network, network! A practice interview is still a real chance to impress a recruiter--and to meet a new contact in your industry.
4. Fast, convenient and on-campus. All it takes is a short trip to Career Services! (C'mon guys, the 5th floor of LBJ isn't so hard to get to, is it?)
