The team that interviewed me was super welcoming and friendly, which really helped me to relax and feel comfortable answering the questions. They gave me a lot of information about the interview questions beforehand, so I had plenty of time to get ready. The questions themselves were tough but fair. I was really impressed with the whole experience.

Behavioral Technical Presentation
Public service interviews are pretty structured. It's a good idea to look up example interview questions since the employer puts them online. The questions are scored, and you need to answer them using a format that includes clear examples of your past work and the specific part you played in those examples. They really focus on what was done and your exact role.

Behavioral Case
The public service interview process is tough and needs a lot of prep. Your resume needs to be spot-on, showing how you meet every job requirement (don't assume they'll infer it). Then, there might be an assignment, followed by a competency-based interview. It's a good idea to check out the BC Public Service website for info on their application process before you apply so you know what's coming. And hey, if you don't get the job, shoot the hiring manager an email for feedback – they're usually happy to share. You might be surprised by the tiny things that made the difference, and that info can help you improve for next time.
