Through our Mock Interview Program, you can practice interviewing in a supportive, low-pressure environment. Our interviewers include peer career coaches, Miami University alumni, and employer partners.
Get ready for our 2026 Spring Career and Internship Fairs by attending our All-Majors Mock Interview Day!
Held on Wednesday, February 18 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the Career Center, you can schedule a 60-minute time slot with an employer or an alumni volunteer. This is your chance to sharpen your communication skills before you potentially score a real interview for a job or internship.
Some of our employer partners for this event will also attend our career fairs. You’ll discover what they look for in candidates and gain a new professional connection.
You can engage in our Mock Interview Program in two ways.
Before making an appointment, or scheduling a time slot, review the below table so you can make an informed decision about which program can best help you. We recommend you prepare for any mock interview by attending an Ace the Interview workshop.
