Interviewed and No Offer

Interviewed Aug 2011 in Calgary, AB (Canada) (took 4 weeks)

The interview questions were initially based on information from my resume. Specific questions realated to my expereince were asked. The second phase of the interview were based on scenario-based questions and exactly how I acted or would have acted. It was a very positive experience. The hiring manager was very professional. Unfortunately during the last part of my second interview, I was informed that my file had been given to the hiring manager's supervisor and the hiring manager had been moved to work on Campus recruiting. From that point on, I contacted them and was told I will be contacted but that has still not happened till today. Be prepared to have in mind what salary range you will be expecting because they asked me this question at least three times and I tried to avoid it because I was not sure what to ask for.

Interviewed Sep 2008 in Calgary, AB (Canada) (took 1 week)

There were four interviews. The first was simply with the internal recruiter to validate my experience and personality fit. There were a lot of behavioural interview questions. The second interview was with the head of Marketing. This interview was much more technical and focused on my marketing expertise. The last two were with Partners. The first was with the Managing Partner and the second with with on of the line of service leaders. These were much more relaxed interviews. In fact, one of those two was more of a conversation.

Negotiation Details

Although the position had identified a salary range, I went into the negotiation phase and presented my minimum salary requirements. I explained why I felt I was worth more than the salary range indicated in the posting. When I presented my salary expectations, I also set out my total compensation expectations and told them that I was flexible with the balance of the compensation. We agreed on a bonus, parking, fitness allowance and their traditional medical/dental/vision and RRSP/pension programs.
