Are you ready for the spring interviewing season?
As you begin searching for a summer internship or full-time position,
one of the most daunting hurdles can be the interview. What do you say?
How do you prepare? CCE is ready to answer your questions and guide you
through the behavioral interview process: Think Purpose, Prepare, and Practice.
Interviewing is a skill that can be honed with practice. Whether you
are seeking an internship and have never been on a formal interview or
you are a mid-level professional with years of work and interviewing
experience, CCE counselors are trained to provide you with clear and
specific feedback to enhance your interviewing skills and help you feel
more confident.
Mock interviews are always available at CCE, but as a comprehensive
effort, CCE is joining forces with recent alumni who were in your shoes to provide more
opportunities for you to practice and improve your interviewing skills.
You must schedule an appointment in advance to participate in
these extra mock interview sessions. Slots will be given on a first
come, first served basis. Call the main desk at 212-854-5609 to schedule

Feedback from other students:
"I really enjoyed having a mock interview with you. The points you
told me are what I would never know without your help. For example, I
should have listened to your questions more carefully." -GSAS, '15
"My interview went very well. I took you advice and incorporated a
bit more of myself into the interview and smiled a bit more which I
think really helped. My interviewer invited me back for the second
round of interviews in their office in late October." -CC '13
"Just wanted to let you know that I got it!! Thank you so much for
your help with the mock interview. It definitely made me more
comfortable." -SOA, '15
"Thank you so much for your help with preparing me for the interview
the other day. I am happy to inform you that I got the job and signed a
contract today with the company. I wasn't so happy about the salary and
I negotiated with them and got them to raise it a bit but I think it
will be a good start especially under the economical situation that we
are going through. Thank you again." -GS, '11
