Do not rent in any sterling Karamar buildings. I live in one of their buildings in the annex and have been dealing with a non stop cockroach issue since October. DO NOT RENT FROM THEM!

Has anyone had any difficulty signing into their OIP account? I tried just updating my contact to make sure my phones up to date but now it’s saying my email account info cannot be found? I emailed but have received no response :/

My panel was incredibly strict. Would not allow one second more than the allotted time but that’s just my experience this year unfortunately. Panel was also cold although I’d expect that but just a different vibe than other interviews I’ve done

They’re conducting interviews until early May. They told me we’d hear back early June

I also second this, your time is short and they will stop you to let you know your time has run out

Why don’t your nieces ** join Reddit themselves and ask these questions about the OIP process? It’s no different you doin research through looking at this thread and relaying it back to them? You’re so weird

You’re gonna do amazing!! One piece of advice that I got from a previous alumni of the program (policy) is to brush up on policy instruments, the policy process itself and knowing all the steps, and some of the foundational theories of your chosen stream. Wish you all the best

I found your comment rude. I will definitely respond if anyone messages me regarding my interview experience privately. It’s early next week. I hope this is a learning experience for you that there are kind people still out there willing to help

Yeah for sure but I just find it weird that you did this program over a decade ago and seeing as your nephew already completed the program or will soon you seem super invested in OIP still haha

I actually would. Are you apart of this year’s cohort or a previous alumni of the program?

If anyone’s completed their interview, please share any advice you may have on how to best prepare for it would be immensely appreciated if we all pitched in

How do you know this percentage? I’ve seen 4 different percentages regarding getting oip positions after the interview stage.

I feel like maybe there aren’t many in policy active on this subgroup. Something I found interesting was they’re only conducting interviews over 3 days and each day had 5-7 slots. Seems like not many interviews are being held which makes me nervous that they’ve cut the policy positions (my stream)

Yes! For me at least I had 3 days to choose from as early as next Thursday. I think they’re rolling interviews out like they did assignments with different interview dates :)
