Employers expect you to be thoroughly prepared for your interview. Preparation and practice are key. ECC offers Mock Interview Days as well as general interview workshops.

If you are looking to go on internship during your university career, you are eligible to get credits for it (FACC 200). It requires being a fulltime student before and after the work term.
