Mock interviewing is another important exercise in the job search process. External Mock Interviewing volunteers for Step Up DC help empower women by strengthening their interviewing skills. External interviewing helps create the atmosphere of a real life interview. The external mock interviewing experiences exposes participants to the stresses of traveling to an off-site location, navigating transportation, being in an unfamiliar setting and interacting with professionals. External Mock Interviewing volunteers should have experience in hiring, access to a secure location where interviews can be conducted and a willingness to improvise in order to create a believable interview atmosphere.
