University of Toronto Research Analyst interview experience

We talked about the courses I’d taken and the research project I’d done at school.

They also asked what field I was interested in, so the discussion stayed anchored to my academic work and preferences. I didn’t feel like there was an attempt to trick me with complex questions. It was more about getting a sense of what I’d studied and where my interests were heading.

Because it was casual, I felt more relaxed than I expected, and it made it easier to explain my choices honestly. Looking back, the light structure made the interview feel welcoming, and the focus on courses and project history
