Interview

Interview:

Having an interview will occur at some points. It is a critical stage and the main point is HOW TO SELL/PRESENT YOURSELF. Being PREPARED is the KEY factor.

No one can tell how the interview will look like. Yet, each university focuses on some aspects. Knowing that is very important.

What you have to do, when you get an interview letter, is:

1. Know about the university and browse its website.

2. Ask the candidate who have been through this experience before. Try to collect as many questions as possible.

3. Sit with yourself and do a list of questions that you believe they are important. Write all the questions down then think deeply about some characteristics in you such as: your personality, strength, weakness, and experience.
Write down possible answers next to each question. Your answer has to be positive all the time.

4. Find a professional person who can review the answers with you. Such thing will make a huge difference in the way you think about yourself and consequently in how you present yourself to the interviewers. Talk to a friend too because they may look to something from different point of view.

5. After several lessons with a professional trainer, you must practice doing the interview yourself loudly imagining that you are having a real interview. It is recommended to do a recording for yourself as you practice.

6. There is no right or wrong answer. Most of the time, we do have the logical answer but due to pressure and stress, we forget to mention essential parts of that answer. We may be looking for answers somewhere, but when we think of it right after the interview, we figure out that the answer is obvious. In conclusion, during the interview, try to be yourself.

Through my experience, the following points may be true:
1.UWO interview concentrates on English mostly and questions are not very difficult.
2. U of T interview questions is behavioural ones mostly. For example, what will you do if your classmate cheats in the exam? Collecting many questions will affect your way of thinking and accordingly your response.
3. Dalhousie and Manitoba, English is really important.
4. McGill university interview will be a review of your autobiographical sketch with the interviewers. What has been mentioned in this sketch should be covered well.
