Looking for a job or an internship? You will need to interview. Even if you have already landed a job or internship, you will likely interview again in the future for a new job or as a candidate for a promotion. Like weightlifting, public speaking or riding a bike, interviewing is a skill, and the best way to get better at interviewing is to practice interviewing.

To help you practice, the Financial Planning Club will be hosting a mock-interview night in Stevens 207 and 208 on Tuesday, Nov. 12, at 6 p.m. This is open to all students in the College of Business, but questions are focused mainly on financial services.

RSVP for the event at this link. Contact Lana Davis at ldavis22@georgefox.edu if you have any questions.
