Boost Your Interviewing Skills
As we continue to spotlight Career and Self-Development through the National Association of Colleges and Employers this month, we’re excited to share a valuable opportunity to boost your interviewing skills offered through the JMU Career Center!
JMU's Practice Interview Events are designed to help you build confidence for your future job interviews. During these 30-minute sessions, you'll be paired with a professional from an employer that actively hires JMU students. You'll answer six predetermined questions, and afterward, the employer will provide feedback based on a grading rubric that evaluates areas such as virtual setup, professional attire, timely responses, and more.
Two more sessions are available this semester—don't miss out on this chance to sharpen your interview skills! To learn more, CLICK HERE.
