Mock Interviews
Recommended for: PhD level students nearing graduation and pursuing a faculty position at an academic institution. Prerequisite: How to Interview workshop
Registration: Please email Becky Presnall (becky_presnall1@baylor.edu) to register for this event.
Enhance your job search preparation by participating in a simulated committee interview. You choose the position (hopefully one you are actually applying for), and we gather a mock hiring committee made up of volunteer faculty and administrators who will interview you for it. The interview lasts 40 minutes, immediately followed by a 20-minute debriefing between 'candidate' and 'committee' to discuss strengths and areas for improvement. The entire session (interview and debriefing) lasts one hour and a video recording of the session is provided to the participant for further review. (Note: Participants must watch the "How to Interview" workshop online prior to the mock interview event.) Please note: These mock interviews are for people pursuing faculty positions only. Those interested in non-faculty positions should contact the Baylor University Career Center to set up a mock interview.
