How would one find opportunities to volunteer in private OT clinics - is it just a matter of contacting them and seeing if they can take you on? Yeah I usually just either went into the clinic or emailed the clinic just expressing interest and including a resume. newtoOT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllyRL Posted March 9, 2020 Report Share Posted March 9, 2020 Does anyone know how many people are on the McMaster MMI Interview Waitlist? I feel like my chances of actually getting off the waitlist at this point are pretty slim! PTOTHOPEFUL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mac123 Posted March 9, 2020 Report Share Posted March 9, 2020 On 3/8/2020 at 12:13 AM, PT OT HOPEFUL said: Hello everyone! Can someone please share how long you have to answer during McMaster's OT MMI? Also, how long do you think your answer should be? I have heard that 2ish minutes is a good target but I thought that you had 8 minutes for your response during an MMI? Thanks! Hey! I did the MMIs last year & got accepted so I can shed some light on this...For the interviews, you have 2 minutes to read the scenario/question & then 6 minutes to give your answer (so 8 minutes in total)! I would say just try to talk for as long as you can & if you have run out of things to say, don't worry because the interviewees have prompting questions! For the written stations, you get the full 8 minutes to write. CurrentlyApplying! and PT OT HOPEFUL 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on what I can remember (I don’t know if it’s the same this year) I would say be clear and confident about why you want to be an OT, and be knowledgeable about the roles of OT in healthcare. As nerve racking as the interview process is, everyone involved is truly lovely and wants you to succeed, so try to relax as much as you can, be genuine, and make it clear that you’re passionate about this field. Good luck mjot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is anyone else waiting on one for out of province? I have heard in the past that you basically need a 4.0 to get OOP interview (which I don't have), so I am wondering about others' status right now.

Pt2bhopfully Posted March 10, 2020 Report Share Posted March 10, 2020 I'm guessing in province for pt at U of A invites are done. I was hoping mine would just be late since I'm at the end of the alphabet. Oh well better luck next year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LMC Posted March 11, 2020 Report Share Posted March 11, 2020 How did everyone find the Kira Talent Mac PT interview? I felt okay about it but my written question was pretty weird so I didn't get much down for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OTplease2020 Posted March 11, 2020 Report Share Posted March 11, 2020 Is anyone else doing remote MMI for OT at McMaster? I am confused how we sign in for the interview... will they be emailing us a link or do we access it through the McMaster application portal?

I felt okay about it but my written question was pretty weird so I didn't get much down for that. I felt it was ok. I was thrown off a bit at the types of questions asked on the actual interview, as I was expecting more traditional style interview questions based on all I had read. I wish there had been more personal type questions to really show myself off as an individual, but I suppose those ones are harder to score quantitatively. Overall I think it was a fare mix of situational judgement questions and personal ones. PTOTHOPEFUL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried talking directly to my camera and not look at myself on the screen, but I found myself having trouble formulating my answer as I got use to 6minutes mmi style as I did UBC one the day before. The written was better than the spoken ones for me imo. Guess we'll see! PTOTHOPEFUL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
