22. PURPOSE

Interviews will be conducted by Community Business Members/Partners  Although your mock interviewer is well experienced in conducting the interview, he/she may be unable to answer specific questions about your field.  The role of the mock interviewer during this portion of the interview is to advise you on appropriate questions to ask and guide you to resources that may provide you with tips on appropriate questions to ask.
Purpose:  To simulate actual interview conditions in order to provide a more comfortable interview experience.  To provide feedback that will aid you in assessing current strengths and weaknesses in regard to your interviewing skills.
To help you with the interview process: developing confidence and enhancing skills.
