Behavioral Technical Coding
He started by giving me a pamphlet on TTC and his card, then gave me an overview of TTC and its Greenwood yard, which felt a bit redundant since I had already done my research. He then asked why I thought the mechanical engineering interviewer counterpart at TTC got more job applications than him. He touched on some of the non-technical experiences from my resume and specifically mentioned that he liked that I'm a cyclist and inquired if I bike to school. After a few more behavioral questions, he moved on to the technical parts.

Behavioral Technical Other
The interview started with me introducing myself, then they asked me some behavioral questions about conflict resolution. After that, we dove into electronics questions, specifically about op-amp circuits and correct diode placement. Towards the end, I had to identify several components laid out on the table, like relays, a current sensor, and a pressure gauge.
