- This is a great opportunity to practice your interview skills, and have feedback on your mock interview and problem-solving skills. This event requires students to have a current resume, and be prepared to engage in the face-to-face mock interviewing practice. Your interviewers will be Langara instructors.
- All participating students must sign up for a Mock Interview Time Slot. Each time slot is approximately 45-60 minutes. Limited spots are available for each time slot.
