Interview Tips
Interviews are a way for both the Hiring Manager and the candidate to learn and assess qualifications and suitability for a role. We may use different types of questions during an interview. These may include:
- direct questions
- situational/hypothetical questions
- behavioural questions
Candidates are provided the opportunity to ask questions about the position and the organization. We encourage applicants to prepare ahead of any interviews. Interview practice and preparation may help to ease possible interview anxiety.
