The hiring process began with introductory phone calls. The hiring manager was making phone calls to applicants so that sh could dig a bit deeper into their experiences. She had said that sometimes resumes and cover letters didn't tell the whole story and she wanted to give the candidates an opportunity to speak about what they can actually do.
The interview process started off with an online information session. It was online because the organization didn't want people to trudge all the way into the organization in the winter time.
It then went to an online interview where there was a panel of three people, the Event Manager, the Tech Infrastructure Lead and the Marketing and Communications Manager. They asked a series of questions some thought provoking and some based on the skills.
The second interview was an in person interview, which started on a odd note. The hiring manager said, "I have a serious question to ask you and I'm judging you. Who was your favourite ninja turtle?" It definitely helped get me out of my shell and allowed us to laugh a bit. I was then brought to one of their specialty rooms where I was given a basic run through of their equipment. We then went on a tour of the building and were brought back to the specialty room and told to give an on the spot site tour.
The next interview was more technical where they asked a series of questions to test our troubleshooting skills.
