Fill out a Mock interview sheet

Choose a company(best related to communication&journalism,best in Boston) and fill out the interview sheet. Instruction from the instructor:You are to locate a job posting (you can search LinkedIn, Indeed, Monster, etc.) for a job or internship you would hypothetically (or even realistically) apply for some day and pretend you are going to be interviewing for that position. Download and complete the Mock Interview Preparation Worksheet posted in the Course Content folder on Blackboard. Somewhere on that form, INCLUDE A LINK to the job you are “interviewing” for so I can find it. For the worksheet, I suggested doing some research on the company/job and talking to people who have been interviewed before for tips and ideas about what questions might come up.
