How it works
You send the posting ahead; the adviser builds a question set to match and runs it like the real thing, video on. Afterward you review the recording together — filler words, structure of your answers, whether you used concrete examples, body language on camera — and leave with a short written summary.
The STAR habit
Most of the feedback lands on the same point: answer behavioral questions with a specific Situation, Task, Action, and Result, not a general philosophy. One good mock interview a week or two before the real one is usually enough to fix it.
In and around Porter Falls
Career Services works with every major, but the pattern is the same across them: a required internship, co-op or clinical placement before graduation, listed on each program page. Ninety-six percent of Porter undergraduates complete one, most of them with an employer in the Valley or the Cities.
The practical details
Book: One week ahead through Handshake; bring the job description. Format: 30–40 minutes of questions, then 15 minutes of feedback; recording shared with you. Types: Behavioral, technical screen, case, panel, and virtual-interview practice. Anything time-sensitive — an accommodation, a booking, a deadline — is worth confirming directly before you rely on it, because the specifics here can change from term to term.
If you have a question
The office behind this is Career Services (Founders Union, Room 160). Call (715) 555–0205 or email careers@uwporterfalls.edu during the fall and spring terms, or sign in to MyPorter to send a message or book a time. If it turns out another office owns the question, they will route it rather than send you back to the start.
Fictional information
UW–Porter Falls is a work of parody. Every office, person, building, phone number and statistic on this page is invented; nothing here describes a real institution or a service you can actually contact.
