Video Practice Interviews

For most of you now you have conducted at least a couple of mock interviews. For those of you planning on applying for summer roles that post early such as banking, consulting, oil & gas, and CPG, we highly encourage you to take advantage of an early slot with an outside consultant for yet one more interview. This interview will give you great feedback on areas to work on going forward.

The Video Practice Interview has consistently been recognized as one of the most valuable career training programs the Hari B. Varshney Business Career Centre provides. This exercise will assist you in putting your best foot forward in interviews.

You will need to have completed an updated resume and will need to submit it to Carly with the completed Video Practice Form two days prior to the meeting. We send this information on to the consultant so he can prepare in advance. Carly will be in contact with those who have signed up before their scheduled session.

Extension on 3rd ePortfolio Assignment

Hi All,

1. Per a request from your VP Academic, I am giving a further extension on the deadline for the 3rd artifact to Friday, November 1st.

2. In case you missed it, I posted on October 18th a post to the blog outlining your potential options for your 3rd artifact. To reiterate, there was no word limit. The only requirement is that you obviously create something of high quality – something that will enhance your brand and be relevant to your MBA journey and goals.

3. A reminder that there are two additional artifacts due by the end of P2 and the deadline will need to be firm to allow for getting in end of P2 grades. They are both open-ended assignments – you are free to create what you wish.

If you have an idea that you aren’t sure of, send me and email. I would be happy to help.
