I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Simon Fraser University (Burnaby, BC) in Sept 2021
Interview
The interview was 1 hour. It was with an interview panel where they asked standard interview questions. Asked for a lot of examples where I exemplified leadership skills, organization, multitasking, and meeting deadlines. Immediately after the 1-hour interview they gave me 1 hour to complete an online in-basket test that tested my basic admin skills (ex. how would you respond to this email, set up this excel sheet, etc. ). The in-basket test was four questions and I had 1 hour to complete it. Total all this took 2 hours.
