QUESTION 1 OF 35

The utilities industry is highly regulated. How do you stay on top of policy changes and trends related to our business?

The interviewer is looking to see how motivated you are to keep up with changing trends. As BC Hydro is regulated fairly heavily by not only the government, but by the people of British Columbia, it is important that each employee know the regulations they are expected to adhere by. A great course of action when answering the question is to list any newsletters you are subscribed to, websites you follow, and certifications you will be taking or have to renew that pertain to the industry.

"With utilities and electricity being a very specific industry/sector, my go-to resources for industry-related news would be utilitydive.com as well as waterworld.com. I subscribe to these two websites as I find they always have up-to-date information, and they mirror industry changes BC Hydro may encounter. I would be interested to see if you know of other resources I might subscribe to or look for as well."

"I like to keep myself up-to-date on the latest industry trends by googling what is coming up in the hydroelectric power world. A great resource online that I have found is hydropower.org. I also like to look up recent market search articles to find anything that is currently trending and watch for upcoming industry-related changes."
