MIKE INTERVIEW – WSIB
Interviews for Top Jobs at WSIB
went through 3 interviews in total, including an IQ-style multiple-choice test, before reaching the final round. I was on a roster for about 1. They really shouldn’t keep people on lists for that long or they will lose them. Also, this is a government job, not the CIA, Google, something that requires a lot of intellectual rigor, and I had already relocated and accepted another permanent position at that point. It’s a little excessive to require an IQ test for a job that only requires a university degree and pays less than six figures.

Interviewed by two people. Very clinical; asked you to read questions off a piece of paper instead of verbally answering them; as you spoke, both interviewers looked down at their papers to take notes. The majority of the questions were generic, nothing too surprising, but the atmosphere and overall procedure did not give the WSIB a favorable impression as a place to work.

The work sample test gives you an idea of the actual work you will be doing, which is calculating pro-rates, while the pre-assessment tests test your mathematical reasoning and logical skills. The panel interview was conducted virtually, and questions were based on experience.
