Humber OCMC Job Interview Challenge

Two out of four of the OCMC events that Humber students will be competing in are individual events, one being the Job Interview challenge. The objective of this challenge is to show the student’s ability to interview for a position in the field of marketing. Students in this event are told what job and company they are applying for however, contact with the company, other than through the company website, is forbidden. The students in this event must send in their resumes prior to the competition and, at the competition, they have a maximum of a 20-minute interview with the prospective company. For more information on the Job Interview challenge, visit http://ocmc.ca/events/job-interview/.

For Humber’s Job Interview representative, the most challenging part of the Job Interview is the fact that it is an individual event. They don’t have the same support that the other challenges have. They are familiar with the company and position, but they have no idea what questions are going to be asked and they will have no prep time at the competition. Their coach is preparing them during practices by asking mock questions. But even so, it is not a guarantee that these questions will be asked.

The Job Interview representative is constantly hard at work, preparing for the challenge. They are always eager to learn more about the company, the position and the industry itself. With the amount of effort and dedication to the OCMC team and to their individual challenge, the students of Humber’s OCMC team cannot wait to see our representative succeed at the Job Interview challenge.
