2026 Volunteer 10th Grade Mock Interviewer
About The Position
Sign Up to Help 10th Graders Ace Future Interviews! Our 10th graders have been learning about professionalism and how to join the workforce during our Saturday programming (aka “Super Saturdays”) and are ready to put those skills into practice through mock interviews. New this year: students will also have the opportunity to interview you about your career. This role-reversal gives them a chance to practice public speaking, asking thoughtful questions, and building confidence in professional conversations — all critical skills for future interviews and networking opportunities. We need you to act as a hiring manager to give them valuable, real-world experience applying these skills! Date: Saturday, March 21th, 2026 Time: 10:00am - 1:00pm Location: Beacon High School 522 W 44th St, New York, NY 10036, USA
