Application
I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Queen's University (Kingston, ON)
Interview
Informal interview process with standardised questions. Selection was internal amongst students within the program. It is a single interview in a one on one setting. Not many questions. Interview was mainly behavioural based. The supervising professor will conduct the interview and describe the functions and tasks of the job.
Got the interview after emailing the professor who had posted the job on the university's internal portal. Went to his office after emailing him that I would want to meet him in person to express my interest.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
All the questions that I was asked were very basic in nature. Why do you want this job? What interests you? Why are you a good fit for this role? It was more like a conversation than being an interview
