Interview training for undergraduate Post Reply

[waltzer]

Does anyone know if it is possible to get interview training for a undergraduate who is trying to get a grad job but not getting very far with the relentless tests. I think that he may benefit from some interview practice to help. He is becoming very subdued with the large number of rejections! Thanks.

Hi there, I’m a recruiter and often work on entry level roles so although can’t provide interview training, I would be happy to have a chat with them

If you know the area or field of work the undergraduate is looking for this would help us in knowing if we have the right skillset to make a difference.

Have found tutor sites like Spire (easy to book) or Tutorfair, where you can really target your search to find someone with recent specific experience and information on your subject. Can see reviews too ie if they helped student get this or that successfully.

Some recent graduates are very reasonable and can relate and a few coaching sessions or guided advice on applications or what might be asked at interview in your subject, can be very supportive.Esp if tutor has actually 'been there' and is focussed or employed in same sector.

I would be happy to help. I’ve been running grad recruitment schemes since the 90s in advertising/strategy/marketing roles. I’m currently off work on long term sick leave (nothing contagious!) so have time on my hands. I can help with CVs too if that’s useful.

Thanks everyone. He is thinking about property or financial services so if anyone knows a company that can tutor in these areas that would be great.

Absolutely, interview training can be immensely beneficial for undergraduates seeking graduate jobs. Here are several options to consider:

University Career Services: Many universities offer career services that provide interview training. These services may include mock interviews, workshops, and resources to help students prepare for job interviews. Encourage your undergraduate to check with their university's career center.

Professional Interview Coaches: Some individuals specialize in interview coaching. They can conduct mock interviews, provide constructive feedback, and offer guidance on improving interview performance. You can find such coaches online or through career coaching services.
