It’s said that practice makes perfect, and that applies to job interviews as much as it does to anything else. Mock job interviews provide the opportunity to refine your answers to challenging questions in a judgment-free zone. They simulate the set and setting of an actual interview with a skilled interviewer that can provide feedback on your performance.

Job interviews can be stressful if you’re not prepared, and that stress can affect your performance. Mock interviews provide a dress rehearsal where you can make mistakes and learn from them without consequence. They can be enormously valuable for polishing your answers, learning new interview strategies, and improving your interpersonal communication abilities. 

If you were an athlete, you wouldn’t take the field without a scrimmage or two under your belt. Mock interviews play that role for job seekers.
