Interview Training for Students
Applying to Colleges, Internships, & First Jobs
Speaking techniques • Lighting setup • Sound quality • Body language • Visual presence
94% of hiring professionals consider interviews “very valuable”.
When you step into interviews without training, you’re handing college admissions and job recruiters a reason to pass.
• Nearly all students sound nervous when being interviewed.
• When they speak, nearly all “um” … and slur … and speak too quickly.
• Nearly all lack ample lighting and sound quality and sadly show a lack of attention to detail.
• Worse, most don’t know how to adapt their voice from on-camera to in-person.
• And the worst? Nearly every student fails to adapt their speaking style to build meaningful relationships.
