Mock Interviewer

Recruiting Organization: Youth Employment Service (YES)

PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVE

The main purpose of Mock Interviews is for YES clients to get hands-on practice on what they learned from the Employment Skills Workshop and then apply those skills in a highly practical and useful format. The objective of a Mock Interview volunteer is to help prepare YES clients for job interviews by providing crucial feedback to help sharpen their interviewing skills and build confidence.

DESCRIPTION:

Mock Interviewers help youth practice essential one-on-one interviewing skills that could make or break a chance at a job opportunity. These volunteers aim to assess and offer advice to clients.
