Can any former CP's who have applied a few seasons back and also again since the change in the appl process, give a run down of the process now and how it has changed? 1 1/2 years ago when my son applied it was different. Are the questions the same? From comments, it appears to be a 3 step process now. And, how are you notified now? I know he'd appreciate any advice on this. Thanks
This is how the application procress is now:
First, you fill out the application. This is all the basic information such as who you are, past job experience, which roles you want (you have the choice of high, moderate, low, or no interest), etc.
Shortly after, they send a "Thank you for applying" email.
After reviewing your application, they send another email asking you to take the web-based interview if they feel you are a good candidate.
The web-based interview is a personality type test. It asks questions regarding what kind of person you are (if you're often late, if you're a really positive person, etc.), what you would do in certain situations...things like that. (As far as I could tell, it's basically the same as it was two years ago.)
At the end of taking the WBI, it should tell you if you passed or not. If you passed, you will receive an email asking you to schedule your phone interview. (You schedule it online, which is different from the past, where you had to call.)
The phone interview is pretty much the same as it was a few years ago. The only difference would be that the questions are little bit more generalized (I think so that people can't come up with a specific answer ahead of time), and there are a little less of them, which makes the interview itself a little bit shorter than they used to be.
Of course, after the interview is the usual waiting game. To find out if you've been accepted, you can check either the dashboard on the DCP website, or your email.
Hope that helped and I hope I didn't leave anything out! I don't think I did. lol
