I interviewed at Health Canada (Ottawa, ON) in June 2024
Interview
4 Questions - pure behavioural interview that asks scenario questions on workload management, situational conflict management etc. There was no technical portion. It was based on slides. There were two interviewers.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
You have a task that is due in a week. Your manager asks you to complete an urgent task due in three days. How do you handle the situation
Straight forward and accommodating. Would recommend practicing standard soft questions. Also understand department you'll be working under and have questions tailored to them. Overall the interview process was good no surprises.
It was easy and smooth. They usually will send the list of questions or topics beforehand so you can prepare. It’s very structured and they will typically ask 5 questions. Those questions usually include knowledge based (e.g., what do you know about toxic health products?), skill based, and behavioural. They might also open up with tell me about yourself and why you want this role.
