Why Do A Mock Interview?
The key to successful interviewing is to be self aware and practice, practice, practice. We've done real interviews for our B-Schools in the past and know what to look for. Our feedback is detailed and dispassionate and designed to help you project yourself as a candidate that the interviewer will root for.
1. How quickly can an interview be scheduled?
An interview with one of the alums can be scheduled as early as within 24 hours. If we are heavily booked, we'll work with you to find an urgent slot.

Most mock interviews are conducted either on weekdays, after 5 pm Eastern Time or on weekends at several times during the day. If you would like to schedule a time besides this, we can work with you to find something.
