ProTrain doesn’t want to be just another online school you can take or leave as you see fit. We want to be the best option for online certification training covering most major industries. To do that, we know we have to offer the courses, customer support, and services students want. Mock job interviews qualify.
We offer mock job interviews on request. A student needs only to contact our student support team to make arrangements. We are happy to assist by helping students prepare for real-world interviews, the interviews that will lead to them landing the jobs they want.
What a Mock Job Interview Actually Is
If you have yet to try your hand in the working world, you might not be familiar with job interviews. That means you probably aren’t familiar with the mock job interview either. No worries. Both are easy enough to understand.
In order to land a job, you need to be interviewed by the company you are applying to. You will sit down with someone from human resources for a semi-formal conversation. During that conversation, the company representative will ask you certain questions to get a feel for your suitability for the job. You will be invited to ask questions as well.
A mock job interview simulates the very same thing. But rather than speaking with the human resources representative with the authority to hire you or send you packing, you are having a conversation with a Student Services Specialist.
This is a person who traditionally has experience with real-world interviews. They can present you with questions you are likely to hear during the real thing. Your mock interviewer can also assess your answers and provide constructive feedback.
Go Into Interviews With Confidence
So why take advantage of mock job interviews? So that you can go into the real thing with confidence. The last thing you want is to fail to impress a prospective employer, not because you lack the required knowledge and skills, but simply because you did not interview well. Trust us, it happens.
More specifically, here is what a mock job interview can accomplish:
1. Familiarity With the Process
While not every job interview is identical, most follow a similar pattern. Most interviewers also present job candidates with the same questions. A mock job interview familiarizes you with the process, structure, and format under which a typical interview is conducted.
2. Constructive Feedback
The quality of your real-world interviews will be influenced by your individual performance. A mock job interview is designed to provide feedback on the answers you give along with your body language, communication style, and overall presentation. The point is to shore up any weaknesses.
3. Reduced Interview Anxiety
Job interviews represent the unknown for many people. Thus, they can create anxiety. A mock job interview reduces anxiety by preparing you for what is coming. If you know what to expect, you are likely to be less anxious.
4. Improved Communication Skills
A mock job interview represents an opportunity for you to improve your communication skills. The more effectively you communicate, the better your interview performance will be.
Here at ProTrain, our top priority is to prepare students for real-world work. So in addition to offering the best online certification training in the business, we also offer mock job interviews on request. If you are already a ProTrain student, we hope you will take advantage of them.
