Want to hone your interview skills? Please, read on!
We are seeking three MLIS students to be interviewed by a small panel of Library/Information Management Professionals. While this interview takes place, a staff member from Management Career Services will provide written feedback on screen as the interview progresses. This written feedback will be provided to the interviewee after the conclusion of the event.
This is an amazing learning opportunity for audience members and even more so for the student being interviewed! Upon conclusion of each interview, a debrief will be held with the interview panel and the interviewee, allowing for the student to receive honest and professional feedback that will help them improve their interview skills.
The job posting was emailed to all current MLIS students on Tuesday, Feb 7. If you need a copy of it or have any questions about this PPD, contact Robert at Robert.Wooden@dal.ca.
Deadline to apply is 4:30pm, Friday, February 27th.
I encourage all MLIS students to participate in this session, as it’s a wonderful opportunity to learn more about the type of interview scenario you will face in your professional careers. The feedback you will get from the session will help you position yourselves to your best advantage in a real interview.
The SIM Interview Demonstrations are a incredible experience that students really should consider participating in. Having taken part when I was a student, I can say that the interview itself is only half the experience. What partipants truly gain is the great feedback they receive afterwards. You’ll find great advice on your answers (i.e., content), the way you answer them (i.e., tone, orientation, confidence, etc), and even your body language. Consider signing up – it’s well worth it!
