Vlog with Jaymie Pompeo
Contributor, Career Services

Preparing for an interview can be a nerve-racking experience. Without proper preparation, a lot of mistakes can be made, and they could potentially hurt your chances of getting the position you applied for. For example, have you ever told an interviewer you were nervous? Did you talk incessantly about a previous employer? Did you forget to bring an updated resume with you? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you need a mock interview.

In this vlog Jaymie talks about the real-time interview experience with the APUS Career Services Team. All you need is 30 minutes of your time, your resume, and an interview-ready outfit.
