I applied in-person. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at TransPerfect (Montréal, QC) in Oct 2010
Interview
Initially I was contacted by phone where we discussed the nature of the job and the salary/benefits, and the conversation was followed-up by e-mail. One interview was scheduled, followed by a criminal background check. Once those were cleared, two letters of reference were requested, and a job offer was sent to me.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I was given a written test which had several "What would you do in X situation" sort of questions. Some of them dealt with aspects of the industry in which I had no knowledge or experience, so it was difficult to come up with answers for them.
A phone screening with HR and a test after. A test consisted of copy editing and formatting which is not exactly the main project coordinator activities so it seemed odd that they are treated as a prerequisite for getting a job.
First call with HR, then with Dept Manager, then in-person interview with hiring managers. The whole process was quick, hiring managers were lovely and the questions were aligned with the role. Interview with Detp Manager was easy.
5 interviews (1 in person) for an entry level position and 2700-3300 salary/month. Told me only at 2nd interview that I'm expected to work overtime and weekends all the time.
