I submitted my resume online on Jean-Coutu's website, and then I had a quick phone call with the lab technician chef. They asked me about my previous experience and positions. They also asked some technical questions relating to their software and dispills.

After applying, the first thing is an application review. Then, there's a phone screening to check your availability and experience. If that goes well, you'll have an interview with the manager to discuss skills and scenarios. Next, we'll talk more about your availability regarding hours and duties. Finally, if everything lines up, we'll make a job offer and get you set up with onboarding and training, including your start date.

It wasn't a very formal interview. The environment felt more friendly. The manager asked me a few basic questions about myself and my motivation for wanting to work there. The questions were pretty straightforward and I didn't prepare beforehand. Basically, you need to know what the job entails and be able to present yourself well, and you should be fine.
