YEG Applications process

[glamsquanch]

Thanks B.Yeg for the interview update! Can I ask if it was similar situational questions to the phone interview?

I was at the July assessment and have my interview on Nov 1st. I was a little disappointed that it was moved to YEG as I'm Calgary based and the commute would've been so much easier

[B.Yeg28]

We were probably in the same assessment!

Yeah it was pretty similar to phone interview for sure. I find that by answering in the STAR format makes it much easier to get you point across and answer correctly.
As the website says, this interview is to rate you aptitude and fit as a trainee and ultimately a Nav Canada employee. They basically want to get to know who you are and if you will fit in well with the company. I found in-person was a bit more stressful then over the phone because all eyes are on you. Just go in, be yourself and you should be fine.

I was supposed to get my answer Oct 26th... and its still showing yellow!
Can't wait to find out, I keep pressing refresh every half hour

Hey Yeg28,

Congrats on getting the green light. I did the in person interview yesterday and it was pretty much how you described, more intense because your watching them take notes as you speak.

I didn't get to tour the centre but that was ok as I already had a chance to sit down with an IFR controller back when I did the assessment in July.

Well good luck to everyone in the future and if I make it through maybe we'll meet on course.

Hey guys
For those of you going to in-person interviews now, is there going to be a next stage should you be successful?
I just received an email a couple of days ago from NAV inviting me to book a date for their FEAST testing. Anyone else?

The next step for the people who are successful after the in person interview is to go into the pool for upcoming training sessions. I'm not sure how the FEAST part works but I assume it has replaced the in person assessment that we did in July.

[estrela20]

Apparently NAV started trying out FEAST for the first time with YYZ applicants. They had already done the in-person assessment (2017) as well as phone interview (2018) but were asked to go back and take FEAST. It is a replacement of online and in-person assessment as well as phone interview. Then if successful, there will be a bootcamp as final stage of the process.

[B.Yeg28]

Hey estrela, I haven't heard anything about the FEAST or boot camp, hopefully they don't make those who passed the interviews go back and do this....

Flyboy, glamsquanch and randomresponse, any chance you asked when the next course start date was, or what the next course was going to be (IFR, VFR, FSS) in your interview?
I'm not a very patient person but this process is definitely making me be one.

If you guys didn't ask I am thinking about calling or emailing next week to ask.

[estrela20]

What I heard from a friend who works in Edmonton was that IFR class started this past October and VFR class starts now. Next ones will be in April/May she said.

[B.Yeg28]

Anyone else loose everything on their Take Charge page? and do you know what this means when that happens? Maybe just a glitch.

When I try and login there's a message saying:

So server maintenance?

Hey, all..

Been lurking for a short while.. just now dropping a line for the first time.

I’ve got a question that I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction:

I had my in person interview in Edmonton October 12 (almost five weeks ago now) and was told I’d have a green or red light in about two weeks. That date has come and gone and was still yellow light “pending” until this new website came along, now I’m not sure where I stand.

Can someone suggest a name that I can try to contact regarding my status on this?

Thanks!

[randomresponse]

Hey lmnop,

I sent you a PM with contact info that might work.

[flyboy987]

Ya this new website is quite bleak. I keep almost clicking the "withdraw application" since its the only thing you can really click haha. Status is just listed as "Interview". This waiting sucks

[randomresponse]

My page looks the same as yours, status is interview with no pending tasks. From what I saw in a different thread it might be that we end up receiving an email with the results instead of seeing a status change on the site. That and they increased the reapply time to 18 months.

B.Yeg, I'm curious to know what you see when you sign into the new site?

[flyboy987]

Well its been 2 weeks so we should be hearing from them soon. Best of luck. Don't think i interviewed too well so not looking forward to seeing the results tbh lol.

[randomresponse]

You know I feel the same way about my interview. Everyone always talked about the three interviewer panel in a conference room, but instead I ended up sitting at a small table with just two people in the training manager's office. Way more intimate than I had anticipated.

Good luck to you as well!

[flyboy987]

Guess we will hopefully see next week haha. This weekend is gonna be annoying.

[kashep]

My interview was November 2, also in a small room with two people. They said I'd hear back in two weeks but I have the same bleak website just with status "Interview". I thought my interview went really well, fingers crossed!

Glad to hear it sounds like others are experiencing the same thing

[flyboy987]

Got some random email from NavCanada earlier about passing the employere referall program? haha. Checked the workday site and looks like i am "Eligible for Offer" So i guess that means im through. Don't see what i've been streamed however. Hopefully yall made it through too.

[randomresponse]

Hey flyboy I just got the same email

Congratulations! You have successfully completed our testing and simulation portion of the NAV Canada Employee Referral program. We would like to invite you for the final interview on:
[not available] [not available] .If you need to reschedule, please call [not available]
Thank you,
[not available]
Tel: [not available] Email: [not available]

Not quite the response I was expecting after having completed the final interview almost three weeks ago, but I had a good laugh

Then a little while later the workday website updated to say Status: Eligible for offer

It's all a little confusing with no stream on there (I opted for IFR and VFR) and I'm a little hesitant to believe it quite yet. But in anticipation of a good result, hooray?!

[flyboy987]

Ya debating whether or not to call them later this week and ask if we get "streamed" like previous applicants.

[B.Yeg28]

Hi All!
Sorry I haven't been on in a while!
Yes, mine says the same (eligible for offer)
I only knew I was streamed IFR because of the old site.
Not sure how I feel about the new layout
I liked on the old site where we could see what was coming up and what we had completed.

I would say either email them or call them to ask what your steam is, they are really good about responding fast to emails.

Hopefully we all get in a course together!

[fawkes]

Hi,

Been lurking for a while and would like to jump in this post

I received the same email yesterday, jumped the gun and emailed them about it. I was told that because the interview took place before the migration, they still had to put it in the details in our account. The email was not meant to be sent out cause we already did the interview.

And so basically the new status "Eligible for offer" is equivalent to the green light we would've gotten from the previous platform. Also, information regarding where we you are streamed is no longer part of this new platform. I was told the it would have been discussed during interview. Which kinda sucks cause it would be nice to know that right away.

[randomresponse]

Thanks for the info Fawkes, too bad we won't know where we streamed. Did they give any indication to when we would find out that info?

Congrats to everyone who made it through, hopefully we'll see each other on course.
