Mock Interviews Sign-Up

2024 CSTE Annual Conference

We appreciate your interest in participating in the mock interviews at the 2024 CSTE Annual Conference. Interviews will occur during the afternoons of Monday, June 10th and Tuesday, June 11th, from 2:15pm-5:15pm ET. Individual mock interviews will be scheduled in 45 minute increments.


The opportunity to sign up for a mock interview will close Friday May 17, 2024.


Whether you’re applying for a new position or serving as a hiring manager, hone your skills by participating in a mock interview. These one-on-one sessions will pair interviewees with interviewers in a welcoming environment. Participants will practice answering questions and presenting their best self or practice asking the tough questions and eliciting more details. Please use this form to register for a mock interview slot.


In this form, you can indicate your interest and desired role for the interview (i.e., if you want to be interviewed or interview someone) and at what level (e.g., entry-level vs. mid-level). At this time, interviews will only be for applied epidemiologist-type positions.


CSTE will contact you soon with a scheduled time for your mock interview. You can use this form to let us know if you will not be available during any of the mock interview sessions. Thank you!

This will be our primary method of communication for scheduling and providing information and resources.

This will only be used to contact you during the conference if we need to try to find you prior to your interview slot.
