It was a pretty lengthy process - applied online, then got an email notifying me that I was short listed to write a pre-employment assessment. I was then short listed again for a webex interview. The whole process took a few weeks.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell us about a time when you had to stop working on a project/idea/assignment and had to work on a different one.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at BC Assessment (Nanaimo, BC) in May 2022
Interview
So far long.. 3 steps and you only advance if you pass the previous
1) skill test (customer service, excel, outlook) - you find out approx. 1 week after posting deadline, and have 48 hrs to complete the test online.
2) web interview invite.. you schedule the time (it’s 45 min max) and then 48hrs prior they send 3 interview questions (STAR format, outlined nicely).. I found out about this step again about 1 week later and the panel consisted of 3 people who will ask questions (easy ones) after you give your answer.
3) reference check. You send these in prior to the interview . When answering your questions during the interview they will ask “who can verify this answer out of your references?” .. This takes about 1-1.5 weeks.

This was a video call interview. Multiple differant people on call. Questions given ahead of time to be answered in star format. I prepped ahead of time and had notes.
