Behavioral Technical Presentation
I sent in my CV and cover letter on the St Mike's careers site. After that, I got a call from the project coordinator for a quick phone chat. Then, I went for an in-person interview with two coordinators. It was about 40 minutes long. They reviewed my resume and asked me about my experience with the specific population for this role. They also had me do a role-play where I had to administer a clinical test to one of them. We also talked about why I wanted the job and what I could contribute.

The role I interviewed for was within the Implementation, Evaluation, and Sustainability team. I talked with three people who work there: the team manager, the business manager, and a research coordinator. They were all really nice. They asked me a bunch of behavioral questions, plus some general questions about the job and why I'd be a good fit.

The 1st step is a phone screening interview. They won't call back so that you can prepare. I didnt find that accessible. The phone screening is suppose to be 5 mins. If you get through this screening then they will email you in a week's time. If you are not selected they won't let you know.
