Learning to interview

Interviewing is your time to shine. It’s your opportunity to show an

employer the person behind a resume of accomplishments and

experience! Although it can be nerve-wracking for many, an interview

is just a conversation.

An employer is there to assess your quali�cations to do the job, �t

with the culture of the organization, and your level of interest in the

position. Your role is to describe your skills, experience, and

education, helping to “connect the dots” between your professional

assets and their organization and role.

Practice and Prepare

Ready to practice and perfect your interviewing skills? Check out our

Interview Prep Tool where you can simulate the interview experience

using your computer and a webcam!  Once you’re in the tool, select

the Login button in the upper right corner of your screen and enter

your Capella login credentials, if requested.

Interview Tips

Research, practice, and preparation are the key to

Interviews can range from a 10-minute phone screening to a series of

in-person meetings lasting several hours (sometimes even with a meal

included). You might interview individually or in a group. No matter

what type of interview, there are some important guidelines to follow

to prepare you for a great interview.
