They will speak to a group of students on campus via Adobe/SCAD Connect or Skype, to let students know what the agency representative looks for in intern candidates and how their internship program works. Each presentation is an hour long covering many different SCAD majors.

DON’T MOCK THE INTERVIEW!
Practice Mock Interview Sessions
By appointment only
Student Success Center, first floor
You are perfect just the way you are but maybe a bit nervous or just curious about being interviewed – either way, a mock interview is great practice. Schedule an individual mock interview to practice your interviewing skills. We will videotape you as we conduct a professional-style, 15 minute interview; then we will play back the videotape and provide helpful feedback on your presentation. Mock interviews are by appointment only and last about 40 minutes. Please email careersatl@scad.edu to schedule one.
