      Difficult Interview
      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at City of Calgary (Calgary, AB)

      Interview

      Left field questions not altogether related to the job. Panel of three, and all the writing breaks the flow. Could do better sticking to how much is known and what experience.

      Give me an example of how you managed a conflict
