Practice interviews are the best way for volunteers to make an immediate impact on the lives of our hardworking participants. It is an interactive experience that simulates professional interviews, and is a chance to offer constructive feedback to help our clients develop interview confidence.
Practice interviews are held on Friday mornings. New volunteers come at 9:00 am for a brief orientation session and the interviews start at 9:25 am. As a volunteer, you will be conducting 4 practice interviews during the morning. Each interview lasts 25 minutes; 15 minutes for interviewing and 10 minutes for constructive feedback with the client. At 11:30 am, you will meet with other volunteers and staff members to give us helpful feedback about the clients that you met with that morning.
Currently, we are recruiting for the following dates: August 18th and 25th, as well as September 1st, 8th, 22nd and 29th. Minimum commitment is one Friday morning from 9:00 am to 12:30 pm, but we welcome you to join us as frequently as you’d like!
In addition, starting May 1st, we will begin evening classes that will also need Practice Interview volunteers for Thurday evenings, May 11th, 18th, and 25th, from the hours of 6pm to 9pm).
If you are interested in becoming a Practice Interview, please email Louise at volunteer@careercollaborative.org with a resume, a little about yourself, and your availability.

Description
Job Search
We offer a highly interactive course that teaches basic job-search skills and helps clients build relationships with other students and staff members. We provide a staffed resource room where clients use the internet for job search and online job applications.
Job Club
We provide individual and group support for clients in job search. Participants discuss job-search activities and share leads with each other. With the help of staff members, interns, and volunteers, clients search for jobs in the resource room.
Mentoring
We mentor clients for at least two years after their initial job placement to coach them through problems at work and home and to help them prepare for raises and promotions.
Supportive Services
We also provide clients with an unusually broad range of supportive services so that they can succeed at their jobs. For example, we help clients get interview clothes, training in budgeting and computer skills, and emergency financial assistance for food and housing.
