It is our goal that thefindings and recommendations made in this paper encourage other faculty to recognize how theycould further aid in students’ preparation and integrate it into lessons. Beyond that, we hope thateducators and administrators consider possible ways to aid in computing students’ understandingof technical interviews and seek to enhance their graduate employability.1 IntroductionComputer and information technology occupations are expected to explode over the next decade,adding an estimated 377,500 jobs annually, according to the United States (U.S.) Bureau of LaborStatistics [1].
