Braven’s Mock Interviewers help prepare college students for one of the most daunting and critical steps in launching their career: the interview. Mock Interviewers are volunteers who simulate the job or graduate-school interview process for students (called “Fellows”) and provide feedback. Volunteers commit to just 2.5 hours of time, but Fellows feel their impact for the rest of their careers. 

The Mock Interview comes halfway through a Fellow’s time in Braven’s signature semester-long career course. At this stage, Fellows have built a solid foundation of career skills—everything from resume and cover letter writing to effective networking. Now, they need the chance to build skills and confidence in the interview process. Mock interviews also tend to be a great networking opportunity for Fellows and volunteers alike—this is a moment for Fellows to connect with working professionals, and for volunteers to meet the next generation of leaders.
