I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at ALS Global (Waterloo, ON) in Oct 2022
Interview
Short interview going over the role's responsibilities, followed by questions about goals in chemistry and if fine with repetitive work. Didn't really ask me technical questions or anything but I brought up a few technical topics which the interviewer gladly discussed at length with me. A day after the interview I was informed the job posting was cancelled, which was strange.
Straight forward with 2 supervior and not technical tested question, about half an hour. They have a sheet that they followed to ask you question about and evaluate based on 2 superviors.
The interview for the Laboratory Assistant position at ALS went very well. The atmosphere was friendly and professional, the questions were clear, and I felt confident explaining my skills, education, and motivation for the role.
I was first interviewed by the HR and then I ham an in-person interview with the department supervisor. It was a smooth and straightforward interview process, and I was able to get the job! :)
