Support Job Seekers

Mock Interviews with Jobseekers (Hybrid)
Event Description: A mock interview is an emulation of a job interview used for training jobseekers on how to interview effectively. This is a conversational exercise, designed to resemble a real interview, to provide important experience and feedback to potential candidates seeking employment. Volunteers play the role of employers interviewing candidates for a job position. This event may be hosted by either our Job Essentials Training (JET) program–our primary workforce development program for clients from all over New York City–or our ESOL Level Two class, a group of English-language learners who are actively seeking employment.
Number of Volunteers: 5-15
Preferred Days/ Times: JET–Wednesdays 2:00 p.m. – 3:30 p.m.; ESOL LV2–Mon – Thursdays 10:00 a.m. – 11:30 a.m.
