Abstract	Nearly every student will go through the selection interview process to obtain a job in his or her future vocation. Regardless of the major of the student or the profession which they will pursue, the selection interview remains a constant. There has been some attention paid to the validity of the selection interview, and personality constructs for employee selection, but there remains a gap in the literature concerning the interviewer's "questions or the questioning process." Traditional interviews were based more on hypothetical questions that allowed candidates the opportunity to give the "right" answers without being completely honest. Bowers and Kleiner (2005) noted the ineffectiveness of the traditional interviews leading to successful hires. To remedy this problem, the behavioral interview was created. Behavioral interviewing is based on the premise that the best predictor of future performance is past behavior. In the activity described in this article, students will engage in a mock selection interview where they will experience one of the most common selection interviewing techniques: the behavioral-based interview.
