Candidate interview experiences
First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at TTC (Toronto Transit Commission).
Project Engineer
I talked to two Project Managers about managing IT projects. This included leading the installation of wireless infrastructure and also leading the support for replacing our internal communication system.
No confirmed questions were included in this interview report.
Design Engineer
I had an interview with two Senior Design Engineers. It went for about an hour and a half. They have a set process where they ask questions from a list and take notes as I talk. No HR person was involved. If they decide to move forward, I'd submit my paperwork to HR after this one interview to continue the process.
- Can you share an instance where you instructed someone, but they did not comply?
- Describe a time you attempted to persuade a colleague to take a certain action, but they were resistant.
- Tell me about a situation where you modified tooling for a part and what the outcome was.
Engineering Co-op
After an initial contact through Jobmine at Waterloo and a brief email exchange, I had a formal interview. The engineers there are really knowledgeable about train engineering and mechanics, so it's a good idea to review terms and mechanical systems related to braking and propulsion. They use AutoCad a lot.
- Could you answer some basic questions about engineering mechanics?
- What is your knowledge of train systems?
- What is your knowledge of mechanical systems?
