Volunteers are expected to be comfortable sharing their experiences and feedback with students on interview skills and decorum. All feedback and communication with students must be respectful and with the intentions to teach students. These activities will be carried out virtually.

- Panel: 60 - 90 minutes
- You will be asked questions about your personal experiences interviewing, such as helpful preparation tips, proper decorum when interviewing, and following up after an interview. Questions will be shared in advance via e-mail prior to the date. No preparation or minimum experience in volunteering necessary.
- Time: 4:50 PM
- Audience: Approximately 100-175 high school and college aged students
