There was only one interview for this position and it was with the hiring manager of the team. The interview was an hour long. Many difficult questions were asked that caught me off guard and I did not feel prepared to answer. Not your typical “get to know you” interview questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
In 3 minutes or less, can you explain a concept to me that you feel like an expert in? It does not need to be related to the job.
I applied online. I interviewed at Groupe Ecocert in Apr 2025
Interview
Un entretien téléphonique : on m'a dit en fin d'entretien que mes prétentions salariales n'étaient pas alignées avec le poste (qui était assez costaud dans les missions). J'ai eu des retours d'autres personnes qui avaient eu la même remarque pour d'autres postes.
J'ai eu un retour négatif - un email générique, près d'un mois après l'entretien téléphonique.
I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Groupe Ecocert (Guelph, ON) in Aug 2023
Interview
First job interview over the phone. Second job interview over Teams with the admin and the department manager. About 40 minutes of discussion about the responsibilities of an inspector, the type of client, the logistic and terms of the contract.
