CEHD Practice Interview Day
Thursday, February 19, 2026
10am-3pm
Virtual on Zoom
Open only to CEHD undergraduate and graduate students
Practice interviewing with people in your career area(s)!
You will be matched with employers in relevant careers to practice answering interview questions without the pressure of landing a job! Employers will provide feedback on how you answered and showed up, things employers in the industry want to hear in interviews, and other helpful feedback.
This event also serves as preparation for the UMN Job & Internship Fair on February 27, the CEHD Health, Sports & Physical Activity Career Fair on March 26, and the CEHD End of the Year Career Fair on April 9.
What to Expect:
● Practice interviews will happen virtually and be scheduled for 30 minutes.
● You will answer popular interview questions for the first 20 minutes.
● You will get immediate feedback on your interview responses for about 10 minutes..
● Your resume will be emailed to the employer ahead of time (so make sure it is uploaded on Handshake!)
● Dress like you would for a real interview! Professional dress can vary by industry or from one company to another. A more creative environment may allow for bold statements, but many industries stick to the basics (business casual wear). Check out our Pinterest board for ideas.
To ensure you are paired with the most appropriate employer, registration is required!
By registering for this event, you are committing to attend the virtual review session, and consenting to have your name and resume shared with the participating employers.
Registration closes on Wednesday, February 11.

The University of Minnesota campuses were built on the traditional homelands of the Dakota and Ojibwe, and scores of other Indigenous peoples who have walked on these lands from time immemorial. It is important to acknowledge the peoples on whose land we live, learn, and work as we seek to improve and strengthen our relations with our tribal nations. We also acknowledge that words are not enough. We must ensure that our institution provides support, resources, and programs that increase access to all aspects of higher education for our American Indian students, staff, faculty, and community members.
