Let’s work together to prepare students for what’s next.

Mock Interviews give students the chance to practice telling their career story, strengthen their interview skills, and receive professional feedback from Career Center staff or industry partners. We are excited to partner with UNT faculty and staff to bring this hands‑on experience into your coursework or department.

Where to Begin

Mock interviews are most effective when they’re thoughtfully planned. We invite faculty and staff to connect with the Employer Services team before the semester begins to start the conversation. Early planning allows us to align mock interviews with your course goals and ensure students receive a meaningful, professional experience. We’re happy to meet in person or virtually to discuss your needs, timeline, and how mock interviews can best support student learning outcomes.

How the Process Works

Partnering with the Career Center is simple and impactful:

  1. Submit the Faculty Mock Interviews Outreach Questions
    This helps us understand your class, goals, and preferred timing.
  2. We handle the scheduling
    Once your request is received, the Employer Services team will coordinate and schedule mock interview sessions in Handshake.
  3. Receive confirmation and next steps
    You’ll receive details about scheduling, logistics, and how to prepare your students once everything is finalized.

Faculty and staff are welcome to use the Career Center’s mock interview grading rubric to support assessment and reflection, or you may share your own rubric after submitting your request.

Scheduling Considerations

To make the best use of shared Career Center resources, please review the Career Fairs and Networking Events calendar before submitting your request. Mock interviews are generally unavailable on:

  • Career Fair dates
  • The day prior to Career Fairs (due to preparation needs)
  • Other signature Career Center event days
  • Dates when the Interview Suite is reserved for employer interviews

Being mindful of these dates helps ensure a smooth experience for both students and partners.

Questions or Ready to Get Started?

If your department or class has questions about hosting mock interviews, please contact Samantha Alexander at Samantha.Alexander@unt.edu.  Students interested in scheduling individual mock interviews should connect with their Career Coach or a Career Ambassador. Together, we can turn classroom learning into confident, career‑ready performance — and play a meaningful role in each student’s success journey.
