Question 1
Questions in line with the position and my past experience
I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Bombardier (Dorval, QC)
Interview
First - straight forward interview with HR.
Then - callback a week or two later for an interview with a different HR person and the hiring manager simultaneously.
Very very detailed questions re: how exactly will I accomplish the mandate, step by step, how will I do this or that. Never seen such level of detail in an interview, especially given that in reality the execution will differ from one company to another due to specificities. Perhaps 10 very specific questions related to the job itself - both theory and "how to". The interview was not difficult per see but it was very detailed and intense. The HR person said after the interview that she thought it went well, but 2 weeks later I was notified that someone else was selected.
