First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at CIC.
Customer Service Advisor
We start with submitting your CV. Then, there's an initial HR discussion. After that, you'll meet the agency director for an in-person interview. You'll need to present yourself and talk about why you're interested in this field. CVs are quite important for internships. The reception staff can also give feedback if you build a good, trustworthy relationship right from your initial presentation at reception.
