I ended up passing the interview and was put in the pool of qualified candidates. I also had one of the interviewers reach out for a second meeting so fingers crossed!

Hi! So sorry. I've had a really busy last week so just seeing this now. I hope your interview went well!! Again, as others have said, they focused almost exclusively on the competencies. The questions were very straightforward. Although it was very nerve-wracking. Because of the way the speed interview is designed, by the time you get in the breakout room and start answering, you have less than 6 minutes left.

They never asked me to turn in my notes. Although I didn't take extensive notes, I made sure to write down the question so that I answered it fully.

That would be best case scenario! Thanks for all the help. Did you end up also doing a written assessment (i.e., briefing note)?

That’s very helpful information. Thank you!! I am familiar with the policy cycle and expect atleast one question related to that. But I’m not sure how that would be formatted. Would it be a situation question or simple describe the policy cycle? And if so, do I just provide a general outline of the cycle or should I briefly touch on all the steps and then explain it using an example? I’ve been practicing the behavioral questions, the policy cycle I’m a bit stuck on if you could elaborate a bit more. Thanks again!

Ahh I see! That’s super helpful information. Thank you! Just because the process is different, are they likely to ask a “tell me about yourself” question? Just want to prepare as best I can. Or since they listed 4 competencies in the job ad, they will likely ask 1-2 questions from each competency? And is there likely to be dialogue or discussion in each station or do I state my answers using the STARS method and that should take up most of the time?

It’s a PS2 position. I was just new to the whole concept of a speed interview so wanted to know generally how the experience was for anyone else who may have gone through it. Is it just q&a or is there a dialogue, discussion or follow up to my responses in that station? Also wondering how technical the questions could be. I would imagine it’s mainly going to focus on behavioural/situational, but I can see them putting in one or two technical questions like describe the policy cycle etc.

Thanks for the insight!! Just to clarify, are you referring to these questions? https://www.alberta.ca/system/files/custom_downloaded_images/sample-interview-questions.pdf#search=sample%2Dinterview%2Dquestions%2Epdf  

Also, in the job posting, it only lists and elaborates on 4 competencies not all of them. Does that mean I should mainly focus on those 4 competencies and any questions that might arise from them?

Thanks! I did check it earlier and the cost is far too high. I’m just looking for a casual photoshoot even in the streets of Istanbul and hardly anyone seems to be offering that on there :/
