枫下茶话 / 美国话题 / What are some of the interviews questions US employers will ask, because they usually know little about Canada?1. About your previous employer, e.g. what is Bell Canada? What is TD?
2. About your industry in Canada, e.g. Tell me about the Telecom/IT industry in Canada; Tell me about the banking industry in Canada
what other questions have you been asked before?

In my experience, they don't ask about Canada, so focus on the technical questions. At most they talk about Canada to warm you up. I bet most of them know about Bell Canada and TD.

maybe because you were in NYC area. when I worked for a top US carrier, I didn't know - or care to know, a thing about Bell or Telus. So experience from canadian firms/people were discounted.

How do you know they discount Canadian experience? Maybe it's your assumption affecting your judgement? I interviewed in quite a few places and never felt the supposed discounting.

I did the discounting while on the other side of the table - you can't credit something you don't know

这取决于你招什么人吧。干具体工作的技术人员，在哪个公司做不都是那些事，重要的是你做了什么，而不是你为谁做。做管理什么的，也许公司的规模，性质和运作方式有点关系。

Very few Americans know Bell and Telus at all. Most Americans do not care about Canada. Some assume that a special relationship exists but more think that Canada is just a different country. As for Canadian working experience,depend on the company. Some big companies will acknowledge it, but not because it is Canadian, but because they recognize all foreign experiences, such as from India. Most middle and small companies won't recognize non-US experience at all but they do not tell you so. For example, if you work in US for 3 years, Canada 5 years, managers will consider you only have 3 years "validatable" experience.

我的建议，美国人的面试，特别是技术那场大多不是随便聊聊，会动真家伙的，问题会越问越细，直到测出你的深度为止。这一点，加拿大的技术面试比起来说，大多数那只是算过家家的水平。

有道理。我问的是在技术面试前，电话面试时。人家拉家常有目的。
