Interview Questions & Rubric for High School Mock Interviews

Planning mock interviews? This PDF includes a rubric and 50 questions to use with students who are planning to attend college or seek employment after high school. The questions were designed to help guide a conversation, especially with students who aren't as talkative. I encourage interviewers to use these questions along with follow-up questions. Below are a few examples of the questions included:

- What would I learn about you from your social media accounts?

- What contributions have you made to your local community?

- What’s important to you when choosing a place to further your education or start a new job?

- What short term goals are you currently pursuing?

- If you could have lunch with anyone in the world (living or dead), who would it be and why?
