Met with managers at the city office for a sit-down interview. We talked about my relevant studies and work experience, and my experience with occupational safety and health. Then they gave me a short tour of the relevant work areas.

Technical Behavioral

The interview process involved two one-on-one meetings, each lasting less than 30 minutes. The office environment was welcoming and had a relaxed yet focused atmosphere. Management didn't seem to prioritize the applicant's qualifications, skills, or achievements. They also appeared unprepared, making it seem like they hadn't reviewed the resumes beforehand. Interestingly, management seemed more focused on skills and qualifications that were outside the specific scope of the scientist role I applied for.

Confirmed questions1 question
  • Tell me about skills you possess that fall outside your primary area of expertise.
