<p>MILR Cornell Interview:*</p>
<p>I applied to Cornell - MILR ( master of industial and labor relation ) program and I was invited for interview. I thought of sharing the questions with you in case someone needs to prepare for it.</p>
<p>General*thoughts: I believe the interview was professional and structured. The interview focused on behavioral interview type in which you expect to have questions like “give me an example of a time”. Therefore, you need to prepare yourself with excellent examples about your past achievements and behaviors.</p>
<p>The interview was conducted by one of the program’s alumni through Skype. He was writing my answers to report it to the admission committee. The interview took around 30 minutes. At the end, he gave me time to ask him related questions.*</p>
<p>The Interview Questions: ( not in order )*</p>
<p>1- tell me about your background, you can start by talking about*<em>your education and experience</em></p>
<p>2- *why ILR?</p>
