The Interview
The Interview In BRAC University's continuous effort to promote greater understanding of needs and issues with the employment industry, "The Interview" program was organized and held on April 18, 2007 at BRAC Centre Inn.

* Help students gain experience and practice in answering questions, which are likely to be asked by the recruiters during an actual job interview
* Facilitate collaborative arrangements for students' internship placements
* Understand employers' expectations about employability criteria
