Calling all Interviewers!

Interviews are hard!  Even for the most experienced and confident of applicants, an interview can be a daunting experience.  But practice makes perfect they say, so in effort to support JPN clients in their job search, we schedule a Mock Interview Event twice a year.

Proper preparation and practice for an interview is a key factor in securing employment.  In fact, mock interviews have shown to be successful in improving the overall confidence of candidates prior to an actual interview, and provide the opportunity for applicants to receive direct feedback regarding their performance and presentation.

Have you ever been on an interview, and didn’t get the job, but never heard why? Never heard how you did, or how you could improve? Well, that’s what many people experience these days, so Mock Interviews provide the format for honest and direct information about a person’s performance during the interview.  They also provide a “safe” place to work out the kinks in responding to difficult questions. 

This is our third Mock Interview event, and they just keep getting bigger and better.  BUT we need your help to make these effective interviews.  We need business people from our community to be our objective Interviewers.  Interview questions are general in nature, and each interview is about 15 minutes long. You don't need to be an Interviewing expert to participate -- we'll provide sample questions and an evaluation sheet for you.

The event is scheduled for Friday, February 21, 2014 from 9am to 12pm at the Business and Economic Resource Center (BERC), located at 224 North Center St., Westminster.

If you are interested or have any questions, please contact the JPN at jobplacementnetwork@gmail.com   

We appreciate your time and assistance with this event, and in helping your community prepare to work!
