Practice/Mock Interviews. You may make an appointment with a CDC staff member to address your interviewing questions/concerns and may also participate in a practice "mock" interview. If you are interested in having a videotaped practice interview, please notify the CDC of this when making your appointment and bring a VHS tape with you to the session.

Workshops

A minimum of ten (10) participants and two-week advance notice is required. However, a two-week notice does not guarantee staff availability.
