Elevating Your Interview Performance: The Power of Mock Interviews

Mock interviews are a tremendous opportunity to maximize your performance. In this article, we highlight some key advantages of the carefully designed mock interview process offered by Beyond Degrees International.

Getting Real-Time Feedback

  • In a real-life interview, you often don’t get any meaningful feedback other than whether you were offered the position
  • By contrast, in mock interviews, we can provide granular feedback in the moment, honing in on both content and mannerisms
  • We also help you become aware of habits you may have, like filler words, repetitive hand gestures, or other distracting elements that can detract from the impression you give off

Developing Comfort and Poise

  • Interviews are stressful! But that doesn’t mean you can’t anticipate and prepare yourself
  • Practicing in a realistic mock interview setting can help you feel more comfortable with the real thing
  • We also help equip you with tools to manage anxiety during interviews and give you a chance to experiment with and practice those tools in a realistic setting.

Bringing Your Responses to a Deeper Level

  • It’s easy to find yourself repeating cliche phrases or highlighting the same points over and over
  • The best interviews find a way to heighten the conversation to be more engaging and provide more of an insight about their personality, approach to problem solving, and unique attributes
  • Discussion in a more relaxed mock interview setting can help you develop deeper insights about yourself and your journey and develop optimal strategies to create deeper connection in your interviews.
