I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Health Out Loud (Toronto, ON) in Dec 2020
Interview
Probably the worst interrogation style interview I've ever had, which is ironic considering this is for a health charity.. It was 4 years ago and I still think about it now and then because of how the experience scarred me. A panel of 4 people systemically only asking technical questions for an internship position straight out of school. They then assigned a design task which I finished and sent and they never got back to me. I even followed up a few times by email because who does that? Unethical, unprofessional and frankly bizarre behaviour. As if job hunting during COVID wasn't bad enough. I have never felt so disrespected during and after an interview. Please don't apply here if even if you're desperate. They're just looking for free advice on their designs.
