Speed Interview Event
This year's Speed Interview event will be held on Wednesday 18 September 2019 at the Otago Polytechnic.
The Speed Interview event is a simple way for businesses to meet potential interns face-to-face. At the event, you will meet a variety of tertiary students and have a four-minute interview with them. You can arrange to meet a potential intern for another discussion sometime after the Speed Interview event or you can offer them an internship on the spot.
There’s no guarantee you will find the intern you want at the event, however we do our best to ensure the right talent is there.
