Mock Interview – READY2WORK 2025: A Solid Launchpad for UEH Students’ Career Journey

18 Jul, 2025

The mock interview is an annual initiative organized by UEH to provide students with opportunities to develop essential career skills and prepare for their entry into the labor market. Building on the success of previous years, the 2025 edition of the program — READY2WORK: Interview Challenge, Career Readiness — continues to offer a practical, professional, and meaningful platform for students, especially those preparing for their Graduation Internship Program – the On-the-Job Learning Semester.

Students engage in face-to-face interviews with industry experts from reputable companies.

Taking place in early July at UEH Nguyen Tri Phuong Campus, the mock interview activity “READY2WORK – Interview Challenge, Career Readiness” attracted the participation of nearly 300 UEH students and over 30 human resource professionals from nearly 20 leading enterprises across diverse sectors, including auditing, finance and banking, consumer goods, pharmaceuticals, retail, and e-commerce.

Participating students had the opportunity to engage in one-on-one mock interviews with professionals from prominent companies such as Masan, Mondelez Kinh Do, Shopee, Lazada, Biti’s, FPT Long Chau, Taisho, Grant Thornton, RSM Vietnam, Saigon Co.op, AEON, Chailease, CJ Foods, and ACB. Each interview lasted approximately 20 to 30 minutes and was tailored to the student’s registered career field. During the sessions, students received personalized feedback on their CVs, interview responses, communication skills, and career orientation.

This was a valuable opportunity for students to identify their strengths, improve their weaknesses, enhance their confidence and responsiveness in interviews, while also expanding their professional networks and exploring suitable job or work placement opportunities.

Industry professionals provided direct, personalized feedback on each student's CV, interview responses, and career development orientation.

In particular, to equip students with foundational knowledge and essential skills prior to the interview, the program also featured a mini-workshop titled “Own Your Interview – Be Grounded, Be Ready”, held on the morning of July 8, 2025. The session was led by Mr. Nguyễn Hữu Duy, Talent Acquisition Advisor at Mondelez Kinh Do Vietnam.

At the workshop, students gained insights into the entire recruitment journey from the employer’s perspective, engaged in live mock interview demonstrations, and participated in an interactive Q&A session with the expert.
