Job Interview Practice: 36 Question Cards and Mock Interview Rubric, Ages 14 to 21

Job interview practice for high school special education and transition classes: 36 leveled question cards, an answer builder, and a mock interview rubric.

A first interview is scary when you have never done one. This pack takes students from practicing single questions to sitting through a full mock interview with a staff member, scored on a simple rubric.

**What's inside:**

• 36 interview question cards in 3 levels, each with a tip for answering

• 2 page Answer Builder for the 8 questions almost every interviewer asks

• Before the Interview checklist

• Mock interview script so any teacher, para, or volunteer can play the interviewer

• 4 level mock interview rubric

• Reflection page and a thank you note template

**Great for:**

• Transition and career classes

• Job readiness units before applying for real jobs

• Mock interview days with staff or community volunteers

• Students in 18 to 21 programs getting ready for work experience

Start with the Level 1 cards in pairs, then move to the full mock interview when students are ready.

These pages come from the same work as my book, The Transition Map, a step by step guide to transition planning for families and teachers.
