2009 Mock Interviews

Nearly 140 mock interviews were organized by the Kansas State University College of Architecture, Planning and Design so that students would have the chance to hone their interviewing skills with the help of prospective employers.

Representatives of 16 professional architectural and design firms and offices in the United States took part in the 17th College of Architecture, Planning, and Design Mock Interviews held on the K-State campus Friday, October 30, 2009.

The interviews allow upcoming graduating students in the college the chance to practice their interviewing skills in a professional setting and to interact with professionals in their fields.
