On 1st March 2025 a Mock Interview was conducted at FIDES, this mock interview activity provided students with a valuable opportunity to develop essential skills for real-world job interviews. The activity aimed to familiarize students with common interview questions, help them improve their communication abilities, and provide them with constructive feedback on their performance. By engaging in mock interviews, students were able to practice their answers, showcase their strengths, and refine their interview etiquette, all in a supportive environment. This experience not only enhanced their professional demeanor but also significantly boosted their confidence and better prepared them for the challenges of actual job interviews.

The structure of the mock interview involved several key phases. First, students were given preparation materials, which guided them in researching common interview questions and crafting their responses. They were also advised on professional attire, proper interview etiquette, and how to present themselves confidently. The mock interview itself followed a structured format, where each student faced a one-on-one session with an interviewer. The interviewer asked typical interview questions, assessing the student’s communication skills, problem-solving abilities, and overall presentation. Afterward, students received personalized feedback on their performance, which included advice on how to improve their answers, body language, and overall approach.

One of the most significant benefits of the mock interview was that it allowed students to refine their interview skills in a low-pressure environment. By practicing how to answer common questions, students learned to craft concise and confident responses, which helped them present their qualifications effectively. The activity also gave them the chance to enhance their communication skills by encouraging them to articulate their thoughts clearly and professionally. Furthermore, students received guidance on improving their body language, such as maintaining good posture, making eye contact, and offering a firm handshake—key components of making a positive impression in an interview setting.
