The interview process at Telus International is a critical step in determining whether you’re the right fit for the company and whether the company is the right fit for you.
Here’s what you can expect:
1. Preparation: Before the interview, it’s important to prepare by researching the company, reviewing the job description, and practicing your responses to common interview questions. Consider how your experience aligns with the job requirements and be ready to discuss specific examples of your work.
2. Technical Interviews: For tech roles, technical interviews are a key component of the process.

5. Follow-Up: After the interview, it’s important to follow up with a thank-you email to express your appreciation for the opportunity to interview and reiterate your interest in the role. This is not only courteous but also helps keep you top of mind with the hiring team.
Post-Interview Tips
After the interview, it’s natural to feel a mix of excitement and anxiety as you wait for a response. While waiting, there are a few things you can do to stay proactive:
