Here's a breakdown of how interviewing skills contribute to the overall success of your graduates:

Communication Skills
(30-40%)

How well you articulate your thoughts, respond to questions, and present yourself plays a significant role. Employers often value clarity, confidence, and conciseness.

Knowledge of Role & Industry (20-30%)

Demonstrating a clear understanding of the job requirements, company, and industry trends shows preparation and interest.

Behavioral & Soft Skills (20-25%)

Employers assess adaptability, teamwork, and problem-solving skills through behavioral questions. How you respond here reflects your suitability for the company culture.

First Impression & Professionalism (10-15%)

Your demeanor, punctuality, and overall presentation (appearance and body language) leave a lasting impact.

Technical Skills & Qualifications (if required) (10-20%)

For technical roles, this might be more heavily weighted. However, even in technical interviews, how you explain solutions and engage with the interviewer matters.

Practicing interview skills can greatly enhance the performance of students and graduates during actual interviews, while also boosting the institution's reputation for producing 'career-ready graduates'.

Builds Confidence
  • Repeated practice reduces anxiety and helps you feel more comfortable with the interview process.
  • Familiarity with common interview formats and questions boosts self-assurance.
  • Mock interviews help refine how you articulate thoughts and ideas.
  • You learn to avoid filler words like “um” or “like” and maintain a clear, concise, and professional tone.
  • Feedback from mock interviews highlights areas needing improvement, such as body language, tone, or content of responses.
  • You can refine answers to tough questions and eliminate habits that might negatively impact the interview.
  • Practicing responses to common questions ensures you’re well-prepared with relevant examples and STAR (Situation, Task, Action, Result) frameworks.
  • Mock interviews help you tailor answers to specific roles and industries.

Behavioral interviews focus on past experiences to predict future behavior. Practicing these ensures you’re prepared with compelling, structured stories.

Simulating a real interview environment helps you practice thinking on your feet, handling curveballs, and staying composed.

Mock sessions help refine eye contact, posture, facial expressions, and gestures, which contribute to making a positive impression.

Feedback can also help you improve practical aspects, such as dressing appropriately, managing time, and presenting yourself professionally.
