Why you matter

Braven’s Mock Interviews give students the opportunity to virtually practice what they’ve learned in a real interview simulation with an industry professional. By spending one-on-one time with students in these sessions, volunteers share invaluable feedback to help Fellows feel more confident, while building their own interview skills at the same time.

You can view all listed sessions and sign up during our Mock Interview cycles in March or October. Stay tuned—the calendar will be updated with available events.
