SIUC Career Services

Career Services has begun another semester of our Mock Interview Program. Mock interviews are simulation interviews conducted by Career Services staff members with students preparing for job, internship, and graduate school interviews. Immediately following the interview, students receive feedback on their interview skills.

 

Many instructors require participation in the Mock Interview Program as part of class requirements, and we invite you to do so. We truly believe this service contributes to the future professional success of our students here at SIUC.

 

If you wish to participate in the program, please contact Lauren Esker at the 618-453-1309 or This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it
