Mock interviews

[arj97]

Hi everyone! I have my first interview in a few weeks. I’m wanting to do a mock interview but everything I’ve seen so far is pretty pricey. The whole application process can be costly, as we all know, so I am looking for something more budget friendly. Any recommendations? Or thoughts on mock interview vs just doing interview prep? I typically interview well but I want to make sure I do the right best I can.

I feel you on this. Your undergraduate institution may offer mock interviews via their student center or office of professional development. That could be an option. It's not PA-specific but can be very helpful with learning how to answer questions critically from a stranger. These services are typically for alumni/current students.

I have done a lot of mock interviews for applicants. I generally recommend this website as a place to start:

This video is fantastic, but the interviewer does many of these. Consider watching them and listening to her advice
