Futuremedstudent? Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 Hello, Anybody interested in setting up some sort of mock MMI interview practice in BC. Preferably in or near the Okanagan? Doesn't need to be until the new year but I"m curious to see if there's any interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Futuremedstudent? Posted February 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 Just making this thread visable again. If anybody is interested a person on the UBC thread is up for doing practice interviews in Kelowna. Anybody else want in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D_Okan Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 I'm in Kelowna and would be inerested in MMI practice. How were you thinking of approaching it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Futuremedstudent? Posted February 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 That is a good question. As of right now there are four of us. I went to an MMI at Dal last year so I know how it works. If we could find more people that would be ideal. I was thinking that after compiling a series of questions we could practice going through stations where we'd take turns being the interviewer/interviewee and then give each other feedback. If anybody has helpful friends that want to help out by being interviewers that would be great too. What are your thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meddocwanabe Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 I found one more lady who is interested in practicing however she lives in Vernon and can make it to Kelowna on Wednesday evening for sure. If we all come up with a date and time to practice then we can get the ball rolling sooner rather than later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D_Okan Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 That sounds good. Acting as an interviewer for each other would be quite helpful as well. If we all bring a set of pre-prepared questions that the others are not aware of, I think we will get the most valuable practice. What do you think? Weekends are great for me, or evenings.

Futuremedstudent? Posted February 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 Wednesdays are not ideal for me as I play All Sport that night. Weekends are probably the best idea. When are your interviews? Mine is not until April but early practice never hurt anyone! Do any of you know if the college, UBC-O or any of the libraries let you book out rooms? At my university we were able to book rooms at the library with our students cards. It would be ideal if we could book a couple rooms beside each other so we can't hear each others questions/answers. I have not been to any of the libraries here though so I do not know their layout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D_Okan Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 I have an interview on Feb. 28th. I'm not sure what the situation is at UBCO... Do you want to try a session on Feb. 14th (Sat.) in the morning? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Futuremedstudent? Posted February 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 That can be done. I vote for not too early though as I like to catch up on a bit of sleep on the weekends. Where should we meet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meddocwanabe Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 How about 10:30 or 11:00 at the library of the ubcO. There are a few rooms on the second floor, I am not sure if we need to book them though. Would anyone be interested in starting this week as well on the 7th of Feb? My interview is on the 28th with UBC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meddocwanabe Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 Sounds good, perhaps we'll meet in the lobby to the library. Bring some sample questions to ask and some promping questions to mimic the actual MMI format. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
