Mock interview practice
For independent career mentors and coaches arranging one-to-one practice with a learner. Give the session one feedback goal and a clear booking link, so the time goes into practising an answer rather than coordinating calendars.

A rehearsal, with a person
Agree on a role family, interview format and feedback goal before you meet. For example, a learner preparing for a customer-support role might practise explaining a difficult customer conversation clearly. The mentor asks a practice question and gives feedback; this is preparation, not a real hiring assessment.
A suggested 30-minute agenda
Confirm the role family and interview format, then choose one thing to work on: a clearer example, a more concise answer or a better explanation of a decision. Use a fictional or non-confidential example when needed.
Ask one relevant practice question and give the learner time to answer without interruption. In the customer-support example: describe how you handled a difficult conversation. Ask a follow-up about their reasoning, rather than racing through a long question list.
Name one strength and one specific improvement linked to the agreed goal. Let the learner try the answer again. Finish with one follow-up action recorded in your own notes: for example, rehearse a two-minute version of the answer before the next interview.
How it works
Choose the existing Client consultation template, which starts at 45 minutes. Rename it Mock interview practice and change the duration to 30 minutes for this agenda. Edit the description to explain the practice focus and add your agreed location or external call link.
Add these suggested optional questions yourself: Which role family are you preparing for? What interview format would you like to practise? What feedback would be most useful? These are not a prefilled mock-interview template. Do not request CVs, private employer documents or information about protected personal traits.
Use the agenda builder below to adjust the topic timings, then copy the reviewed text into the event description yourself.

Product questions
Use five minutes to agree on context and one feedback goal, fifteen minutes to practise answering out loud, and ten minutes for feedback and a retry. Finish with one follow-up action. Adapt the timings to the learner rather than promising to cover every possible question.
Ask optionally for the role family, interview format and the feedback the learner wants. Add these questions yourself and keep examples non-confidential. Do not request CVs, private employer documents or protected personal traits in the booking form.
