SUMMARY:Practice your Interviewing skills
DESCRIPTION:A successful job search often comes down to the interview moment\, where one gets to impress the potential employer. With the upcoming regional job fair on the horizon (on May 6 & 7)\, we in partnership with the FORT program would like to help you prepare for this very important step in your job search. \nThe moment of truth has come. You sent your CV and cover letters and now you are being called for an interview… In other circumstances\, you would be relatively nervous\, but you are now living in Québec City and chances are the interview will be in French or at least part of it. No need to panic! We are collaborating with the FORT program to offer you the possibility of practicing your French interviewing skills. At the end of it\, you will be better equipped in terms of what kind of questions you can expect when interviewing in French\, and how to prepare your selling points in the aforementioned language. Now\, if your interviews are most likely to be carried out in English\, then by all means you can practice in English! \nThis activity is 100% free and open to all! \nTo register please click here. \n
