Applied online through the Telus job portal with a referral. I was contacted by a talent acquisition person 3 days later requesting for a phone interview that same week. The phone screening was around 30 minutes starting with questions of every position I held in the past. Then there were other behavioural questions. Two hours later I received a link to complete a behavioural test. Two weeks passed since this when I received a call from the hiring manager requesting a time to set up a video interview. The video interview was with the hiring manager and two directors. The questions were straight forward, and the people were very nice. In total, it was around 45 minutes. One week after the video interview, I got a call and an email from HR requesting for work references and consent to a background check. One week later, I received a job offer! A total of 1 month and 1 week from the first phone screening to job offer.

Question 1
How do you convey technical information to non technical audiences?
Interview was remote. Interviewer cut to the chase and asked very detailed questions on relevant skills and experience. They were transparent with all of my questions. Interview went really well, but I eventually declined to move to the next round as the interviewer later mentioned they will be leaving the team and I didn't want to continue interviewing for a position not knowing who my manager will be.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at TELUS in Jun 2025
Interview
The hiring process was long and inefficient. I waited over 5 weeks for a response, during which HR completely ignored my follow-ups, providing no communication, feedback, or updates, which left me feeling overlooked, undervalued, and highly disappointed by the overall experience.

Question 1
Describe an unsuccessful experience you had with a task at work.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at TELUS (Ottawa, ON) in Apr 2025
Interview
I was contacted by a recruiter on LinkedIn about a remote Project Management opportunity with Telus. The screening interview went well, and I moved on to my first remote interview with the Telus Team Lead. From there, I was told that he wanted me to prepare a 20 minute case study presentation, with very specific instructions. I basically prepared an entire project management plan, and change management plan including graphs and matrixes in under 2 days. I felt the presentation went very well, however at the end of the presentation the hiring manager (Wesley) asked extremely specific questions about my charts, down to the digits and timelines I used. Nevertheless, I responded in a logical way given all the information I was provided. A few days later, I was contacted and told that I didn't get the position because apparently I didn't answer a question about Telus's product lines in enough detail. I thought that's something you learn on the job and can be trained on?

Question 1
How my project timelines presented in the case study presentation graph would work in the real world (even though in the case study I only had 3 months to complete the project).
