Interviewed someone that works for UBC and hires a lot of students for work learn positions.
Interview key points:
-
Highlighted the importance of the candidates “fit” into the office culture/space
-
The resume is more quantitative- talk about your experience in the least amount of words possible- similar to a list.
-
The cover letter is qualitative- Story telling about how they got to where they are now.
Hypotheses
1- Yes- This Hypotheses always goes really quick- it is a standard that everyone uses
2- Half- Domestic students over inflate their experiences (in general) compared to international students who are too modest
3- Yes- Same as students- both side ID as very important
4- No- Not until the interview- during interview for sure
