Northern Alberta Institute of Technology Interview Questions

I was given the chance to work at a practicum in the NAIT Cenovus Power LA for four months after completing my two year course. It was an unpaid practicum where we operated pressure vessels, pumps, and conducted daily water tests.

Digital interview done over Teams. Was interview in front of a panel, including the HR recruitment specialist, instructor, program chair, and department chair They took turns asking a variety of questions, starting first with walking through the resume, then moving into STAR questions, and teaching-based questions

One interview with 5 people. Then asked to complete an assignment over the weekend, which was quite time-consuming and leads me to believe they were using candidates' ideas to utilize in their own marketing plans, which is ridiculous. After I completed the assignment, I had to follow up with the HR Professional to confirm the assignment was received. The HR professional had stated they would be in touch in the next couple of days and the team is in process of reviewing it. But I never heard back. Later found out they hired an internal candidate... not sure why they would waste other candidates time.

Got a call about a week after the opening closed. Typical interview questions, about 30 mins. Interview was on Microsoft Teams, had the opportunity to ask questions at the end of the interview.

The interview was done by an Admin and a senior accessibility specialist. They asked around 12 questions: situational ones mostly. They were open to give me explanations and to lead me into the right direction.

Panel interview with chair, department head and hr. Pretty basic questions relating to experience and how to deal with apprentices. Thought it went well. They ended up doing an internal hire

Although it was not too bad, their final decision was not announced! I was disappointed! Not responding is weird and unprofessional, but at least they could have informed me I was not accepted!

Standard HR phone interview, then group interview with the hiring manager, HR, and Team Lead. Second interview was a group interview where I then received a project to write a mini case study.

With a panel of subject matter experts. Direct question. What’s nice about them, is that they share their feedback even if you don’t get the job. Solid feedback with details

The interviewing team (manager of the team, 2 team members, and an HR member) seemed very interested in having a conversation about the role and to become to understand me. It was very human, and it was striking, because I've had some many soul-less 'we're doing you a favour even talking with you' interviews. Thos interview gave me a very positive impression of the team and the work environment in this area of NAIT. I knew very much that I would love to work in this environment (which was not the case, unfortunate for me, fortunate for another candidate). The questions were some around background, some technical questions (which were subtly social-based), and some "describe a bad work situation where <...> happened".
