Interview
The interview process is quite frankly very long. The entire process for me went from June-August. It goes in a few stages, from them reviewing your resume, to then calling you in for a 1 on 1 interview (on Teams), then a group interview (on Teams), then a language assessment. I do have to say that from what I've noticed, they were super rushed when it came to hiring the second batch of fall guides, that they didn't do the language assessment, meaning a lot of the new guides do not speak French that well. As a Francophone person, I feel it's somewhat insulting to just cut off the process where guides are evaluated on their language skills for a bilingual job, just to save time. I have talked with several of the new guides who were hired during the second fall batch, and they all have told me they didn't do the language assessment.

I applied online. The process took 11 months. I interviewed at Library of Parliament in Aug 2021
Interview
Incredibly long process due to the creation of a pool. Started with the language requirements. Then passed the panel interview via zoom. i got the questions 30 mins in advance. They were generally pertinent and easy to answer. The people conducting the interview were friendly and interested and I enjoyed getting to know them.
Several months later, I got a written test regarding the legislative procedure, before being accepted into the pool. I then passed a zoom interview with the managers, and then had a one-on-one phone interview with the most senior.
While I liked interacting with the library staff and librarians, I found the HR representative to be very difficult to reach, and unhelpful at times. The process took a year.
