Free in-person practice. The Workforce Centers of South Central Kansas run mock interviews and workshops at 2021 N. Amidon, Suite 1100, Wichita, (316) 771-6600. If you are enrolled anywhere, your college’s career services office does the same, already covered by your fees.
The three questions to prepare no matter what. Tell me about yourself. Why do you want this job. Tell me about a time you handled something difficult. Nearly every interview contains some version of all three.
A note on paid tools. Some interview platforms, including Big Interview, are usually licensed by schools rather than sold to individuals. Before paying for anything, check whether your college or public library already provides access.
