Toronto october 2010

I was wondering who's going to Toronto in october for the interview. When I apply 2 years ago, we did a supper the night before so we can know each others, I think it can be a great idea to do it again... And I was wondering if anybody will stay in an hotel, which one are you going so we can be heading all at the same place! What do you guys think?? Let me know and see you all in less than a month now!!!

 

I'll be there!!
got an email from Kirsten like 5 mins ago with all the interview information! im staying at the Metropolitan hotel which is actually like 2 or 3 blocks away from where the interviews are held! got lucky with that eh? haha we should def try to organise something so we can meet up before!

 

Count me in!! I'd like to drive up there from Guelph (about an hr away) after work Friday so I plan to be there around 7pm - not too sure where im staying yet...if anyone needs a roommate for the night let me know!

 

I'm going! But my mother won't let me go without her, making arrangements a little difficult for me No room buddies for me (I can't complain, though, she's footing the bill!). But dinner sounds nice ^^

We're probably staying in the Econo. Cheapest one over there, which makes me nervous.

 

yes i think a dinner would be fun I am also from guelph and staying the night before. so much easer then driving the mornning of

 

I have my phone interview tomorrow. Fingers crossed that I will be joining all of you in Toronto! I would definitely be up for a meet beforehand! I'll be coming in from Ottawa so I'll be looking for a place to stay that's not too far away.

 

I'm looking for a roomate to split the bill If someone interest. After a couple of research, the closest and cheapest on near Ryerson university is the econolodge, which is less than a kilometer from the Univeristy. as I don't really know the city is anybody know a good restaurant where we can all go?? Anyway it's only in a month so we have "plenty" of time since the interview!

 

I'm staying at the Delta Chelsea since it's super close to Ted Rodgers. I won't be coming down until the 2cd since my interview is on the 3rd but if there is any plans for a meet-up on the 2cd after the interviews, I'd be interested in attending.

 

That sounds like an even better plan, ariella. i keep forgetting that some people don't have their interviews until the 3rd -facepalm-

What's Ted Rodgers?

Fingers crossed for you MaeB!

 

Ted Rodgers is the building at Ryerson the interviews are taking place on the 3rd, I'm not sure if it's the same for the 2cd. They did the interviews there last spring and it was so nice because it was super close to the Eaton Centre (I think there was even some pathway inside the eaton centre attached to it) so you had somewhere to go while waiting for your interview time.

 

Hey I am also attending the interviews on the 3rd.

 

Just got the email saying my interview is on October 2!!
And I only did my phone interview yesterday.. glad I didn't have to wait long to find out! Can't wait

 

I just got an email that I was invited for a face to face interview! I can't believe it! I thought I totally tanked the interview. When she asked me what's so great about Canada I was like: "Ummm...." I was honestly stumped. Not great from someone with a history degree!

I'm not sure if I can swing going to the interview though I really want to! I'll have to review money...otherwise I'll see you all there!

 

Congrats, bethanymacd! At least you didn't have to bite your nails along with the rest of us lol

I have a question/nervous query: I've been poking around the threads, and people who applied in January (where the job postings were for June-August) are going down in October-ish. Does anyone know if this is what usually happens? Or are they just fitting as many people in as possible of fill in the terminations/self terminations that are bound to happen in the first month or two?

 

18 days guys!! So close...Have you all reply to Kristen so we'll have everybody's mail?? It's gonna be easier to organize something with the mail of everybody... Was wondering if someone was looking for a roomate in Toronto?? Let me know...

 

I'm from winnipeg and there is about 6 of us that have an interview!

We're staying at the Delta in a Suite!
Were hoping to meet new people and have a fun time! Were coming for 3 days.

 

Hey Guys i'll be staying at the metropolitain hotel...I did book by travelocity and I did a blind booking...I was so happy to know that it,s like 5 minutes walk to Ryerson university!
Abillauer...are you going to the interview on the 2nd or 3rd? When Kristen will sent us back the email I'll write an email to everyone to meet one night so we can go out and eat! See you there guys!

 

You know of a good place to eat there, jslussier?

 

no i do not...I'm from Sherbrooke like 8hours from there....AHAH but we'll find...

 

Does anyone know if we are required to bring a list of references to the interviews? I know it wasn't on the list of things to bring, but I wasn't sure if it was just assumed that it would be included within your resume. Thanks.
