I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at SGS (Burnaby, BC) in Aug 2023
Interview
Applied through Indeed. HR will contact you via email regarding your available schedule for interview. There will be onsite interview with a panel. After the interview, they toured me around the laboratory. They basically discussed what are the job expectations for this position.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Typical situational questions: - What will you do if your coworker/trainer told you to do a shortcut way of the task instead of the SOP? - Can you tell me about a time you had to work with a coworker who was difficult to get along with? Technical Questions: - Can you tell me how do you do acid digestion? - What will you do if you have a sulfuric acid spill?
Het volledige sollicitatieproces verloopt doorgaans in verschillende fasen, waarbij eerst een Teamsgesprek plaatsvindt, gevolgd door een kantoorgesprek, waarna het bedrijf een aanbod doet; vervolgens wordt het contract ondertekend, de startdatum vastgelegd, een interne opleiding voorzien en kan je effectief beginnen aan de job.
I had to fill out a long, detailed medical questionnaire before the interview. There were questions regarding medications taken for mental health. Even though I felt it was a risk, I decided to be open and disclose that I was taking medication. Even though it did not impair my ability to perform in the role, in the interview my disclosure led to several judgemental remarks.
short period between 30 minutes. mostly they ask about experience from previously (internship etc.) and some scenario questions. dress formal and be there early. otherwise, interviewers are friendly and explain everything in detailed.
