This plays a pivotal role in your grooming, when you start seeking jobs you not only represent yourself but also HU, therefore we do our best to prepare you.
Mock interviews
The Mock Interview Program provides you with the opportunity to practice your interview skills with actual interviewers. The interviewers are generally McGill alumni and/or members of the Canadian Bar Association who volunteer their time to help students improve their interview skills. Interviewers are often, but not exclusively, representatives of firms that recruit on campus.
In order to make the interviews as realistic as possible, they are usually held at the interviewer's office. This allows you the opportunity to deal with the stress that many experience when going to formal interviews. In other cases, mock interviews are held at the Faculty.
Each Mock Interview lasts about 30 minutes, with 15-20 minutes for the interview itself and 10-15 minutes for constructive feedback from the interviewer.
The Career Development Office coordinates the Mock Interview Programs, which are usually held in November and February.
