Canadian Partnership Against Cancer interview questions

HR Screening interview and then panel interview. Questions were provided in writing about half an hour prior to the interview. Which does not quite feel like enough time but was a good primer.

This was a long involved interview process. Screening by the HR person one week after I applied. The 1st interview was a panel interview a week later, They send you the questions for the interview about 15 minutes in advance, so not enough time to actually use them to prepare answers. A week after that I was schedule for a 2end panel interview, in which I needed to prepare and present a powerpoint on a hypothetical project they are thinking of working on. This was a pretty intense research assigment, and took me the entire weekend to prepare. After this I was told they would make a decision, but then I was asked to perform a 4th interview with the director of the department a week later. I was told by her a decision would be made within a week, but after this I did not hear back from them, and I needed to follow up twice to find out I did not receive an offer. All in all it took over a month of interviewing not to receive an offer. I was unhappy they forgot to inform an advanced applicant they were not offered the job, I had an internal referrence and guidance throughout the interview process. The internal person told me that they don't really expect a lot of specific prior experience as this position is considered entry level in the org, but I found during the interview this was not true, and they were very focused on my prior experience, which in my case was substancial.
