First, I had a 15-minute phone chat with HR, which was laid-back and friendly. About a week later, I went in for an in-person interview that lasted an hour. During this meeting, the interviewers gave a quick overview of the job responsibilities and what a typical day looks like, then asked some questions. The whole conversation felt pretty relaxed.

The interview process was efficient, and both the internal recruiter and interviewers were friendly. The office environment was pleasant. One area for improvement is scheduling interviews. Instead of just sending confirmed time slots, it would be better to ask for candidate availability beforehand. Another suggestion is regarding the take-home test, which simulated a real scenario. Consider compensating candidates for their ideas or offering feedback upon request, as these projects require significant time, energy, and experience, and rejection without feedback can be a difficult cycle for job seekers.

So, for LCBO, it's usually a few steps. First, you gotta apply online. Then, there's a quick phone chat to see if you're basically qualified and if you're actually interested. If that goes well, they might bring you in for an interview, either in person or online, with a manager or maybe a few people. They'll ask stuff about how you deal with customers, if you can solve problems, and what you know about LCBO's stuff. Some jobs might even have you do a pretend customer situation. It's all about seeing if you're good with people and if you fit in with how LCBO likes to treat customers.
