FAQs
What is a mock interview?
​
A mock interview is a simulated practice interview designed to replicate the experience of a real interview. It involves role-playing with an interviewer who asks you a series of questions similar to those you might encounter in an actual interview. The purpose of a mock interview is to help you prepare for upcoming interviews by familiarizing you with the process, assessing your responses, and providing feedback on your performance.
​
During a mock interview, the interviewer may evaluate various aspects, such as your communication skills, body language, confidence, and the content of your answers. They may also provide constructive criticism and suggestions for improvement.
Mock interviews by Career Adhyaapak will be conducted through video calls (unless stated otherwise).
​
Engaging in mock interviews can boost your interview skills, help you identify areas for improvement, build confidence, and reduce anxiety. It allows you to refine your responses, practice articulating your experiences and achievements, and become more comfortable with the interview format.
