During my mock interviews and even a few days prior, I begin questioning and exploring. Using this model will really help me to hone in on the things that may be a challenge for them. This will help in encouraging them and building their confidence.
When I have mock interviews with students I like to encourage them to talk about their personal experience and I highlight examples that they share and how those are great qualities to showcase and expand on when speaking with an employer
I have always encouraged our students to answer each interview using an example or story. I tell them each story should have a beginning, middle, and end. At the end of their story, they should come out looking like the "hero." I also encourage them to keep a log on their phone of their accomplishments/"wins" during their time in school. When they have a log of their "wins." they can review that list prior to the interview and be ready to answer all questions using real-world examples.
