I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at First Nations Health Authority in Apr 2025
Interview
After submitting my application, I was then contacted by HR to first schedule a screening call with HR and then the actual interview. The screening call was relatively simple; I was asked about my experience and also my understanding of certain terms such as cultural humility, and also what i know about FNHA.
I then had a one hour interview with the director and another senior person of the program the position was under. There were 7 'scored' questions and 2 unscored ones.
After the interview, I was selected for the next step --> an assignment. However, after the interview i had realized hat the role was not quite what i was expecting so I withdrew my application.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at First Nations Health Authority (Vancouver, BC) in Apr 2025
Interview
I was contacted by a recruiter who asked only very basic questions, such as why I wanted to work for FNHA. She admitted she was new and wasn’t able to provide any real insight into the role. She mentioned she might follow up within a few days to potentially schedule an interview—but instead, I received an email within 10 minutes of our call setting up a panel interview with two managers.
I met with Peter and Mary, and again, no context about the role was provided. They jumped straight into 10 highly specific questions. From the start, I could tell Peter seemed irritated to be there, and the whole interview felt extremely rushed. After answering their questions, I mentioned that I hadn’t been given any information about the specifics of the role. Peter appeared visibly annoyed that I even asked.
The whole experience left a bad taste in my mouth and made me question how organized the organization really is. I'm more than qualified and genuinely want to work for FNHA, especially given that I grew up in a First Nations community directly affected by residential schools. It’s disappointing, but maybe it’s for the best.
