A video and text-based interview training program and virtual mock interview tool.
Mount Mercy students and alumni have access to a complimentary aptitude and interest assessment called YouScience. This assessment uses brain games to identify students’ natural skills and talents and then identifies careers that are a strong fit for those aptitudes. Contact Career Services for a personalized access code to take YouScience.
Interviewing is one of the most critical parts of the job search process as it provides candidates and employers an opportunity to determine if they are a good match. It’s also typically one of the more nerve-wracking parts of the process. Career Services partnered with the Student Government Association to provide students free access to Big Interview — a video and text-based interview training program and virtual mock interview tool representing more than 140 industries. Visit Big Interview and register with a Mount Mercy email account for free access.
