The School of Business InterviewStream platform allows students to develop strong interview skills in a pressure-free, interactive environment. Student interviews are recorded, enabling them to review and evaluate their performance or to share the content with peers for additional feedback. Practice provides the experience to be effective in an interview and reduce stress before an actual job interview occurs. Students can develop their skills through two different processes: Practice Interviews and Mock Interviews.

Please login to CareerConnect to register for InterviewStream.

Travelling, studying and working abroad is an experience that can open your mind, expand your horizons, and make your resume look more attractive to potential employers. However, it can also be nerve-wracking, uncomfortable and even frightening for the inexperienced and unprepared traveller. To minimize the impact on your peace of mind and your health, you must spend time preparing and researching your trip, especially if it is your first time. In some instances, you may spend months researching and preparing before being ready to travel.

The information provided through CareerConnect is intended to aid in your preparation as well as provide some leads to some of the options available to students and graduates. 

The School of Business also provides current students access to GoinGlobal, an international opportunity support platform which includes country and city-specific guides providing extensive information on employment outlook and industry trends, local job search resources, cover letter, resume and interview preparation and advice for the local market. 

University of Alberta International is also an excellent resource for preparing you to study, volunteer or work abroad. Their website has many great links, and the International Centre in HUB Mall has many sources on international opportunities.
