Interview preparation
Once you have received a call about an interview, you must prepare. Many job applicants spend very little time preparing for an interview and, unsurprisingly, this often leads to poor results. Thorough preparation will increase your confidence and help you improve your performance and job prospects.
A good way to start is to ask yourself: what are the top five things I would like to tell the interviewer? List them and see what stories you can use to better illustrate this skill or experience. Don't forget to prepare an answer for the most asked question in a job interview: tell me a bit about yourself. Again, think about what you want to highlight about yourself and make connections with the job position you are being interviewed.
Many tips can be useful to know prior to a job interview. If you want to learn more, don't hesitate to book an appointment with the career.education [at] mcgill.ca (Education Career Advisor).
