Assessments
We use a variety of tools at FCC to determine who will be most suited to the role. The type of screening and testing used depends on the type and level of the position.
Language evaluations will be necessary in some cases. If you’ve recently completed one from the Public Service Commission of Canada, you’ll be asked to provide a copy of your results.
Interviews
Our competency-based behavioural interviews focus on what you’ve done in past situations. There will usually be a selection committee made up of two or three people for your interview.
For the interview, be sure to:
- bring a copy of your resumé
- research FCC to find out more about the organization and what is important to us
- have copies of your professional credentials (education certificates, professional associations, etc.)
