Interview
I can describe the whole experience as a waste of time and energy.
I prepared myself for MPAC interviews for months with all the little details about property valuation and all the other stuff necessary for an entry-level position as a property inspector that they use to hire High School graduates before.
I believe and am almost certain that most of the MPAC interviews are fake, they do it because of the "rules" that they have. Usually, they already picked or know who they're hiring. Unfortunately, if you are not White or Asian, your opportunity to get a job other than the Toronto, Brampton and Scarborough branches is almost Zero. AS they say in their feedback interview feedback sessions "You're good but not good enough".
I am a Real Property Administration graduate from Seneca with a 3.8 GPA and scholarships from AIC, I don't know what "good enough" means to be honest.
Whoever sees this message by any chance, please stay away from RPA at Seneca, first, it has the most racist instructors and the environment can potentially get toxic. Also, The Property Valuation industry is incredibly racist and sadly nepotism is all over this industry.
