How do learners sign up for Mock Interviews?

The Merit America Events Team will send out an email and Slack messaging for the upcoming event. You will only sign up via Zoom. Do not sign up via Calendly. Calendly is for our volunteers.

The form will close on the Monday before the event dates. We are only able to accommodate 50 attendees per time slot given.

How many slots can learners sign up for?

You must choose one time slot. Once signed up, you cannot switch time slots unless you cancel your RSVP and complete the registration form again with your new preferred time.

I filled out the Learner sign-up form, now what?

The Merit America Events Team will send you a confirmation within 24 hours of the form closing for your event (if you did not receive one, contact us!). We will be in contact with you throughout the process with reminder emails and more information!

When do learners receive their calendar invites for the interview?

An invite will be sent within 48 days prior to the event.

The invitation will have the Zoom link embedded in the invite and an event overview. Please accept the event invites. If you do not receive your calendar invites, please check your email calendar too or inform the Merit America Events Team ASAP!

Do I do anything before the interview?

Be prepared! Make sure to pre-plan your day & technology before you meet. We suggest reviewing commonly asked behavioral interview questions, familiarizing yourself with some technical concepts relating to your coursework, dressing professionally and checking your zoom link. You are building a professional network, someone may be hiring, or know someone who is! If you’d like to have your resume handy or some questions for your volunteers you may as well. Please be prepared to stay professional throughout the event.

We highly recommend you review our Mock Interview Orientation video and look over our Mock Interview Learner Guide!
