Build your confidence, one question at a time.
Job interviews can feel intimidating—but they get easier with practice. In this quick video activity, you’ll answer 4 common interview questions and build confidence along the way. Try it once or a few times—it’s all about getting comfortable.
Welcome to Practice Job Interview! We’ve “hired” two AI avatars to help you get ready for the real-life thing. Here’s how this activity works:
Get Set Up
Think of a job you’d like to apply for. As you practise, imagine you’re in a real interview for that job. That will help focus your answers.
Then:
Find a place where you can hear the questions being asked and respond out loud, without feeling self-conscious
Take two or three deep breaths (Try out our Mindfulness Minute to prepare)
Start the video and answer the questions
Remember!
If you get flustered or want to start over, you can. That’s the best part of practice: being able to try as many times as you need!
Go A Step Further
If you feel comfortable and have access to a phone, set it up so you can record yourself and watch the video afterwards. Watching your recorded answers will show your body language, whether you are easy to hear and understand, and which answers were good or might need more work.
