Interview prep guides for Canada
Most Canadian interviews mix behavioural questions ("Tell me about a time…"), role-specific questions and a few standard closers like "Why should we hire you?" and salary expectations. Interviewers usually score answers against a rubric, which is why structured STAR answers with a clear result do well.
Use these guides to predict the questions, build five or six reusable STAR stories, and rehearse out loud. Role-specific guides cover software engineering, system design, data and case interviews.
