Practice Interviews

3:30 pm - 5:30 pm

Jacobs Hall 4309

Come practice your interviewing skills with HKN. Sign up for a slot here.

We will conduct a 20 minute interview and then spend 10 minutes giving you feedback and pointers. This is highly recommended for any invitees who haven't already gone through several rounds of interviews for industry. Not only is this interview representative of the technical questions you will get when applying for internships, but it is also a huge help in preparing you for the HKN interviews which do affect whether or not you will be inducted in to HKN. You can also have your resume critiqued by one of our officers; this process will take about 15 minutes. Sign up for practice interviews and resume critiques here. If you want a MAE or NANO interview or if these times don't work for you, just let Ben know at bellis@ucsd.edu.
