Walking into an interview without preparation can feel overwhelming. Even the most qualified candidates sometimes stumble when put on the spot. That’s where mock interviews come in. Practicing in a safe, supportive space helps you sharpen your answers, calm your nerves, and build the confidence to show an employer who you really are.
A mock interview is more than just role-play—it’s a rehearsal for success. By practicing with your ERS Career Coach, you’ll learn how to respond to common questions, highlight your strengths, and overcome those tricky “curveball” moments that employers often throw in. You’ll also receive real-time feedback on everything from your word choice to your body language, giving you the tools to walk into your interview ready, polished, and self-assured.
