Hi all. I hope you are enjoying a well-deserved break.
If you have not yet done your Mock Interview E, please arrange to do so. It is a 2-part process, and the first part, done online, can easily be completed over the break.
Our intent is that we want you to have completed your Mock Interview E before signing up for a Video Practice Interview with Barry Howard as the VPI should represent your most well-trained effort.
Please visit the original post to obtain instructions.
Happy Holidays!
This past Thursday, 51 of you experienced Mock Interview “B”. As a reminder, Mock Interview “A” is part of your Intake Meeting with Mary/Rodrigo. By all accounts, mock interviewing thus far has been a great use of your time.
These learning events were designed to give you a mechanism to try-out your skills, get feedback in a no-risk environment and move forward. We experienced everything from 6 minute answers on the “tell me about yourself” question to people sharing far too much about their family problems, etc. And at the same time, great examples were given, strengths articulated, and most importantly, you had an opportunity to be in the “hot seat” and practice live. This was the purpose of this exercise – to get a baseline experience. So, great job to all of you who have participated. For those scheduled for this Thursday, you should look forward to a valuable 30 minutes.
The Mock Interview journey continues during IPD week begining Tuesday, October 15. More information to follow next week.
I do have an important message to communicate. These activities are required elements of the program, and involve a significant amount of planning and organization. Twenty-two students ignored the sign-up deadlines. Rodrigo was able to fit in 5 at the last minute. (One of those people did not show up for their interview.) Which leaves 18 who have not scheduled their mock interview, nor communicated with us.
Going forward, it is very important that you sign-up, where required, in a timely fashion. Please respect that it is not a good use of our time to be chasing people after the deadline.
For this one time only, we are going to try and create some slots for the 18 who have not scheduled their interview. As one interview experience leads to the next, and because you will be representing Sauder during interview season, this training is important.
Thank you for your attention on this. Onwards and upwards.
