Abstract
New college graduates often have difficulty finding employment in a competitive job market. With many career management resources available, they still need direct instruction for communicating their values to a potential employer. This paper highlights a mixed methods exploratory study of the use of multiple rounds of mock interviews with 75 undergraduate business students that culminated in a final round of mock interviews with 41 area business leaders as interviewers who provided summative feedback on the students’ mock interview performance for guiding their development. Results suggested that this is a promising method for preparing business students for real-world career interviews.
