Structure of the day

There will be two sessions through out the day. You will only attend one session so when you register, you will need to indicate which session you would prefer.

Session 1: 1:50pm – 4:10pm
Session 2: 3:30pm – 5:50pm

Step 1: Register at the commencement of your session

Step 2: You will receive a nametag with your interview circle colour and seating number. For example, if you are allocated to red circle seat four, you will then start at seat number four and move around the eight alumni interviewers. There will be five coloured interview circles.

Step 3: Attend a briefing session which will cover how your speed interview experience will be run as well as some interview tips from UOW Careers Central.

Step 4: You will then be ushered to your interview circle and commence your speed interviewing experience!

Step 5: Your interviewer will ask you a common interview question and you will answer as if you are in a real interview situation. The alumni will give you feedback on the strengths and weaknesses of your answer and will offer advice on how to better answer questions like this in future.

Step 6: A bell will sound every ten minutes and you will be required to move on to the next interviewer.

Step 7: After you have moved around all eight interviewers your speed interviewing experience will be complete!

Step 8: A networking function will be held at the completion of the day (from approximately 6.00pm). All participating alumni and students will be invited to come along, have some light refreshments and meet your fellow students and alumni in a relaxed environment. The 14 winners will be announced at this function.
