Public Policy at the Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy | University of Toronto

Whether you are looking for your first full-time role or you are an experienced professional, this session will demystify the process and provide valuable lessons from the front lines of the policy hiring process. This session will give you a chance to understand the hiring manager’s perspective when your application lands in a pile on their desk, when they are sitting across from you in an interview, and when they are making their hiring decision. Sean Court and Noah Zon will provide tips to help you succeed at each step of the hiring process, from interpreting job ads to crafting your application to what to expect in the interview.
