Are you mocking me?

So yesterday I was in Madison doing mock interviews with undergraduate students. The experience was a good one, for both parties. This was my first time doing mock interviews and so I really did not know what to expect. I approached it like this - I would do what I would normally do during an interview, and then stop and explain why. Then I would ask the student a question, allow them to answer, and the give them feedback on their response. It seemed to work pretty good for all 5 of the students I spoke with. They appreciated the honest feedback and I am sure they will all do fine during their real interviews. Remember practice makes perfect and the more interviews you can do, the better you will get at it.
