I applied through other source. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at BCMEA (Vancouver, BC) in May 2025
Interview
I applied online, and shortly thereafter I had a Teams interview with the HR Manager. The HR Manager was very pleasant and asked job-related questions. However, immediately after the interview I chose to withdraw my application as the reporting structure for the position I was interested in was a red flag. As a senior professional with 20 years in Instructional design, reporting to a junior middle-manager ("Instructional design lead") would have been counter-productive. The organization should focus on collaboration rather than pecking order and unnecessary middle management.

Interview
The interview process was drawn out and involved multiple interviews with various team members, culminating in a final interview with the entire LR team. The questions were thorough and everyone in the team is obviously bright and engaged in their work.

Question 1
There were repeated questions about why I had chosen to work in LR, especially as I have worked in multiple industries over the years. There was also a significant focus on how I would deal with the union, who in this industry is known to be aggressive.
I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at BCMEA (Surrey, BC) in Dec 2024
Interview
During my interview with BCMEA, there were four people on the panel for the technical meeting, which lasted two hours straight. It involved answering questions, completing a coding session in Notepad, and discussing dashboard architecture. I managed to answer about 90% of the questions correctly. Unfortunately, I did not receive any feedback after the interview, making the experience feel like a significant waste of time and energy.
