10 Appendix J: Post-Interview Reflection Form
Sarah Ladd
Immediately after each interview, take some time to complete a post-interview reflection. This form can help you remember what went well and explore areas for possible improvement on your own or with assistance from a co-op coordinator or career counsellor.
The post-interview reflection in Table J.1 is also available as a PDF: Post-Interview-Reflection-Form [PDF]
