nutritional_lee Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 Hey everyone, I was just wondering how everyone is getting ready for the interview... any tips? Practice with someone once or twice, and then relax, so that you can be yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justletmein Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 I interviewed today. The best advice I can give is know your autobiography/CV inside & out. Most of the questions will come from there. I was asked about health care systems and privatization but nothing too specific, they were very open ended questions so just be sure that you are able to say something intelligent about those kinds of topics.

Inspired17 Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 For those of you who were PM, what time did the actual interviews start at? Also, how much time did you have between the 2 interviews? If someone could give me a breakdown of the schedule for the day, that would be great! Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inspired17 Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 One more question Since we have already sent in an electronic copy of our photo IDs, do we need to bring identification for the sign in? I'm asking because I don't really want to carry my wallet around with me all day. Thanks for any info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inspired17 Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 yup, you'll need your ID's to verify your identity Thanks. That's what I figured. Uh... I wish that I had a smaller wallet, so that I could fit it into my suit pocket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm asking because I don't really want to carry my wallet around with me all day. Thanks for any info. it's a little ridiculous... not only did we have to show the 2 ID's for comparison when we checked in, my interviewer also verified my ID (from the printout) ... talk about security. Thanks. That's what I figured. Uh... I wish that I had a smaller wallet, so that I could fit it into my suit pocket. just take the cards out and put them in your pocket, that's what I did. Then you won;t have huge bulge in your pants (haha pardon the expression...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
