Effective preparation is key to securing a job offer. Here’s a guide on how to prepare for a Canadian job interview:
Before the Interview:
- Expect a phone screening where recruiters verify your qualifications, interest, and salary expectations.
- If successful, you’ll move on to interviews with hiring managers or panels, which will primarily influence the hiring decision.
- Research the company, the role, and prepare key talking points, but avoid memorizing answers—keep it natural.
During the Interview:
- Stay Professional: Avoid personal topics such as age, marital status, or finances to ensure a professional image.
- Common Questions: Prepare for questions like “Tell me about yourself,” “What interests you about this role?” and “What is your greatest strength/weakness?”
- Illegal Questions: In Canada, questions about race, religion, and other protected characteristics are prohibited. Politely redirect or ask how it’s relevant to the role.
Questions You Can Ask:
- “What are the immediate challenges of this role?”
- “How is success measured here?”
- “What opportunities for professional development are available?”
Post-Interview Etiquette:
- Send a thank-you email expressing appreciation for the interview opportunity.
With preparation, you’ll be well-equipped to leave a lasting impression and move one step closer to landing the job.
