This three-hour session prepares students for the video interview components of university applications.

The session will include a presentation that outlines the main components of video interview requirements, as well as a practical guide for successfully completing those videos. During the session, students will learn how to answer typical interview questions and have the opportunity to tackle some sample questions as a group. They will then practice in pairs and give each other feedback, as well as record their responses for analysis. Programs that require the video interview include Commerce at UBC, the University of Toronto, and York University, as well as Engineering at the University of Toronto and the University of Waterloo.

The workshop covers topics such as:

• body language and appearance
• technical set-up
• coping strategies for nerves
• tips on answering prompts
