Online interview one with HR and another with hiring manager. Pretty simple process. Standard interview questions. Noticed most of interviewer cameras were off during the process. Lasted around a month or two to get through the whole process
- What type of experience do you have.

Anonymous Interview Candidate in Vaughan, ON
I applied online. The process took 7 weeks. I interviewed at Magna International (Vaughan, ON) in Jul 2023
The interview process was great, however, the location I interviewed at in Woodbridge/Vaughan took a long time to get back. I received a phone call to interview on June 27 and had my interview the next day. I was asked various HR questions (I listed some below) and spoke about my resume and experience with the Manufacturing Engineer I would work under. I never heard back but I was told that I would be contacted for a facility tour if I was selected for a 2nd interview. I was contacted for a 2nd interview exactly 1 month later (I thought I lost the position by now lol) and it went very similar to the first. It was with another manufacturing engineer at a 2nd location which was close by. This time, I was only asked to speak about my resume and experience. The engineer then showed me the facility from the top floor and explained what I would be doing as an intern. After the engineer left, I was given an engineering test asking about various drafting/design topics. About 2 weeks later, I was asked for references and given the offer about 1 week after. Overall, I would say the experience was great. Both interviews were face-to-face so be prepared to drive to the office. Some tips are to bring printed pictures to show the best highlights of your work experience if applicable and answer everything honestly. Don't be nervous and talk as if it is a normal conversation. Take time to think of a proper answer if you need to (you can ask for a few seconds to think before answering). Maintain good eye contact but don't stare so you come off as confident.
- What is your greatest strength? What is your greatest weakness?
- 3 words that you would use to describe yourself?
- What is a situation where you had to deal with a conflict? (and similar situational HR questions)
