+title: Mock Interviews
+---
+
+During Mod 6, your weekly assessments will be in the form of Mock Interviews.
+
+Each interview will be 30 minutes long and consist of both technical and non-technical questions.  Instead of receiving a score, you will be "offered a job" or "invited to re-apply" .  Regardless of outcome, you will be provided with feedback for improving your interviewing skills!
+
+Each week, we will be focusing on a particular PD theme, and we want to see you demonstrate that theme in your interview:
+* Week 1: Asking Questions
+* Week 2: Graceful Exit
+* Week 3: STAR and Concrete Examples
+* Week 4: Talking While Coding
+* Week 5: Planning
+
+In order to be "offered a job" you must demostrate the following:
+* Strong technical knowledge - answer most of the technical questions correctly.
+* Ability to exit tough questions - you must demostrate graceful exiting of any question that you don't know the answer to.
+* Ability to use examples to illustrate your answers - examples should be relevent and **specific**.

+You can ask these questions in any order.  There are some questions each week that we know students will not be able to answer - this is by design to see how they exit a tough situation.
