Fun Mock Interview Session: Enhancing Interview Skills and Resume Building
Event Overview:
On October 3, 2024, the IEEE DCE Student Branch (STB 13471) organized an engaging and informative event titled "Fun Mock Interview Session" from 1 PM to 3 PM. The event aimed to enhance students' interview skills in a fun and interactive environment, providing them with valuable feedback on resume building, technical knowledge, and soft skills.
Event Structure:
The session was divided into two main rounds:
Round 1: Resume Creation and Mock Interviews
In this initial phase, all registered students were gathered in classrooms. Each participant received a resume template designed to incorporate both technical and fun elements. The template consisted of two parts:
- Technical Skills: Participants were asked to fill out this section with their relevant technical expertise, focusing on their strengths.
- Fun Questions: This part aimed to lighten the mood and allow students to express their creativity and personality, making the experience enjoyable.
Once the resumes were filled, the participants underwent mock interviews conducted by teachers and IEEE student leads. The interviewers used the information provided in the resumes to ask relevant questions and assess each student's skills, both technical and personal.
Round 2: Resume Building Session and Group Discussion
The 50 selected students were then assembled in the seminar hall, where they were welcomed by Pooja Khot Ma'am, who conducted a brief yet insightful session on resume building. She highlighted key tips for creating an impressive resume, including how to effectively showcase skills and achievements to stand out in a competitive job market.
Following this, the students were divided into smaller groups for a group discussion. The discussions tested the students' communication, teamwork, and problem-solving abilities, critical components in real-world interviews. After thorough deliberation and observation, five winners were selected based on their performance in the group discussion.
Winners:
- 1st Place: Aditya and Saksham (ECS 3rd Sem)
- 2nd Place: Aditya (ECE 1st Sem)
- 3rd Place: Prince (ECE 1st Sem)
- 4th Place: Princy (ECS 1st Sem)
Conclusion:
The event concluded with the announcement of the winners. The "Fun Mock Interview Session" not only provided students with hands-on experience in handling interviews but also offered them valuable feedback on enhancing their resumes and soft skills. Overall, the event was a great success, contributing to the personal and professional development of the participants while fostering a sense of camaraderie and learning.
