Mock Interviews - Career Services and Leadership Education conducts mock interviews for students upon request. You can do as many mock interviews as you would like to do to practice your interviewing skills. Call x5906 to schedule a mock interview. The staff will do their best to tailor questions to the specific industry and possibly company you have an interest in. Mock interviews are taped and you will watch the tape with the person who conducted the mock interview and will receive feedback.

Follow Up / After the Interview

Thank you notes - It is HIGHLY IMPORTANT that you send a thank you note after your interview. This should be done within 24-48 hours. This shows the employer that you are professional, gives you the opportunity to reiterate your interest in the organization and the position, and sets you apart from the candidates (not from SLU) who might forget this all-important step. For more information on thank you note, and for a sample, please look in the Professional Correspondence Guidebook.
