Your cover letter and résumé should reflect the qualifications and experience needed for the job you are applying for.

The Phone Interview

This is an opportunity to learn more about you and how you see your career developing at George Weston Limited. During this conversation we will discuss your skills and experience in further detail and you will have an opportunity to ask any questions you have about our company or the position you’ve applied for.

Your questions are welcomed and encouraged during the interview process; you should have a sound understanding of our culture and the GWL environment at the conclusion of the interview.

As a successful candidate, you will receive an offer of employment conditional on the results of both a background check and references.
