With in-firm interviews coming up soon, Ultra Vires has you covered with a list of helpful tips and tricks.
Use these to make the most of your time with potential employers. Ultra Vires guarantees that these tips will get you an offer, or Editor-in-chief Brett Hughes will personally pay back the entirety of your accumulated debt.
- Arrive a few minutes early!
The early bird gets the worm – or in this case, the job at that sweet boutique. - Wear your best business attire.
Not your second-best business attire. - Wear some fun socks!
You are an individual. - Look for your friend Matt outside the building, on Adelaide St.
It shouldn’t be too hard to find a brown-haired white guy wearing a dark suit, in the morning crowd. - Become disappointed when Matt says he doesn’t want to switch interviews with you, Freaky Friday-style.
Whatever, you’re late to your interview with Norton Rose. - Answer their question about your greatest accomplishment by telling them about the time Matt went to Africa.
He saw a lion. - Dodge their question about your greatest strength.
Show them the picture Matt took of the lion. - After the interview, follow up by sending them a digital copy of the picture.
Make sure to CC Matt. - Ask Matt how his interview went.
Probably not as well as yours. - Start prepping for your cocktail reception on Tuesday night.
Ask Matt if he wants to practice doing handshakes.
