All that you will need to be a great Mock Interviewer is enthusiasm, understanding, and common sense. Our program connects professionals - like you - with students, offering them real-world interview practice, valuable feedback, and insights into the professional world. By volunteering to be a BestPrep Mock Interviewer, you’ll help shape the future workforce, boost students’ confidence, and contribute to their career readiness.
