Interview Day is tomorrow!
On Thursday, January 17 marks LA Term’s main internship event, Interview Day. Interview Day is the final event in the internship placement process after many days of meetings, office visits, resume drafting, and networking. At this point, our LA Term students are placed in an incredibly difficult position of selecting only three organizations to request an interview. LA Term has so many great internship partners, it is hard for students to narrow down their choices to just three.

Format:
Organizations must come prepared with questions for students to identify qualifications, skills, and previous experience. Please reference student’s resume in the interview when necessary. Put them on the spot, it’s a good practice.
Total interview time is 30 minutes per student. There are no longer 15-minute buffer times in between. Interviews are back-to-back. Organizations can choose how to govern their time during the 30 minutes.
Volunteers will be outside of the classroom timing the interview and will notify you when you have 5 minutes left in the interview.
Interviewers, please be on time for your first interview. In case of something unexpected, please call/text Frank Romero-Crockett’s mobile at (213) 448-2289 and let him know your estimated time of arrival.
We must follow the strict interview schedule since we are accommodate many organization’s schedules. We understand you have a busy work schedule and appreciate your participation in the event. We will try to accommodate as best as we can.
Parking:
Parking is free with validation, which will be distributed at the end of your final interview. You will receive your parking validation at the 2nd floor registration table. Parking without validation is $15.75. You don’t want to leave without it.
We strongly encourage taking public transportation to the LA Regional Center. We are just off the Metro Purple Line – Wilshire/Normandie station.
Overflow Parking:
If you are interviewing during the middle of the day, please allow for extra time to find parking in the Paramount Plaza Visitor Parking garage. Parking is more difficult to find during peak banks hours in the afternoon. If parking garage is full, please drive across the street to St. Basil’s Catholic Church on the corner of Wilshire/Kingsley (click here). Bring cash.
