I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at TELUS in Oct 2014
Interview
The first round of interviews takes place on-campus in October, and it consists of two 45-minute parts: behavioural interview and case interview, each with a different interviewer. The behavioural interview is pretty standard. The case interview is trickier; the case is given verbally, and the candidate must walk through his/her thought process with the interviewer. The interviewer will likely redirect the candidate if he/she starts to go off track.
The second round of interviews takes place at the office a week after the first round. The structure is the same as the first, but with different interviewers.
TELUS contacts the candidates by telephone to let them know whether or not they have made it through a few days after each interview round.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The case is the most difficult part of the interview. You have to verbalize your thought process, ask for additional information, and make assumptions as needed. It will likely include a mathematical element as well (e.g., percentages, adding, etc.). Bring some paper and pens to your interview. Prior to the interview, I recommend reading books and watching videos on YouTube about case interviews to familiarize yourself with how to approach cases.
I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at TELUS (Vancouver, BC) in Oct 2012
Interview
Applied online through Telus's website. Applications were only open to 5 schools across Canada. One week after I applied I received an email from my school that I would be having an interview on campus in one week.
1: On campus with two parts
Two rounds of interviews that were +45min with a break between each.
a) Behavioural & General knowledge about Telus
b) Case Interview: Discussion based problem with calculations (Basic knowledge and unnecessary to memorize equations)
2: At Telus
- I did not make it this far.
They mentioned that it would be behavioural and discussion based with no case.
