Let’s work together to prepare students for what’s next.

Mock Interviews give students the chance to practice telling their career story, strengthen their interview skills, and receive professional feedback from 51̽»¨ Center staff or industry partners. We are excited to partner with UNT faculty and staff to bring this hands‑on experience into your coursework or department.

Where to Begin

Mock interviews are most effective when they’re thoughtfully planned. We invite faculty and staff to connect with the Employer Services team before the semester begins to start the conversation. Early planning allows us to align mock interviews with your course goals and ensure students receive a meaningful, professional experience. We’re happy to meet in person or virtually to discuss your needs, timeline, and how mock interviews can best support student learning outcomes.

Scheduling Considerations

To make the best use of shared 51̽»¨ Center resources, please review the 51̽»¨ Fairs and Networking Events calendar before submitting your request. Mock interviews are generally unavailable on:

• 51̽»¨ Fair dates

Being mindful of these dates helps ensure a smooth experience for both students and partners.
