Candidate interview experiences
First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Government of Alberta.
Project Manager
The interview process was pretty standard. It mainly involved situational questions for about 45 minutes, and then the remaining 15 minutes were for asking questions or getting clarification. There were about 10-12 questions in total. There is significant discrimination against older white males, especially multi-generational Canadian citizens, in preference of immigrants. This is mainly because of the ridiculously low rates being submitted.
- Can you share an instance where you innovated to enhance a project, and describe the resulting improvements?
Project Manager
I was contacted after they found my resume from the Provincial Student Work Opportunity website. The recruiter was very friendly and asked if I was still looking for a summer job since it had been half a year since I initially posted my info. I said I was interested, and she set up the interview date. There was only one interview, and all questions were behavioral.
- Can you share an instance where you failed or didn't meet your supervisor's expectations?
- Tell me about a time you experienced failure or didn't perform as well as your supervisor expected.
Project Management Assistant
I applied a few weeks ago through my university, and they set up an interview for me on campus. It was about 20 minutes long, and three people took turns asking me questions from a list they had. After that, they asked for my references.
- Where do you see yourself career-wise in the future?
- Can you share a project or accomplishment that you're proud of?
- How do you envision your contribution to the project?
