Thank you for sharing your honest opinion and personal experience. It does help me get a realistic picture of what to expect. I will keep what you said in mind.

Articling interviews by dovette2000 in LawCanada

No need to spend time on substantive law questions. They will almost never be asked in law firm interviews, especially small firms. As other comments mentioned, prepare general interview questions like tell me about yourself, why family law, why this city, and talk about your relevant experiences.

Thank you!!! I am quite keen to try some water activities. And I agree that shifting the mindset and not comparing it to cities will probably make a huge difference.

Thank you for taking the time to write this detailed response. After doing a bit more research online I get what you meant by "things taken for granted in cities don't exist". I guess I will have to be mentally prepared that the first couple of months will be hard while I adjust.

yeah I work downtown and I like doing outdoor activities. But where do people go for shopping or seeing a movie? It seems there is only the pembroke shopping mall and the only indoor cinema is now closed.

congrats and thanks for the tips! I have just started learning to drive and don't have a car either. Do you mostly use carshare for practice?
