At Suncor, we use a variety of robust internal software programs. Do you consider yourself tech-savvy and a fast learner?

"I had taken some courses in computer programming and also worked part-time evenings as an IT support person when I was attending university. I consider myself to be technically inclined. Could you share with me the primary programs you use at Suncor?"

Suncor is invested in hiring candidates who are willing to embrace their technology landscape and adapt as things change. Even if you aren't responsible for the development and maintenance of their solutions, it is likely you will use them in some capacity regardless of the role you're hired for (i.e. you may not build automation tools, but you may be a part of a process that benefits from automation).

If you're comfortable with technology, this question is an easy win. If not, convince your interviewer that you understand the importance of technology in the workplace and that you're ready to jump in. You can even follow your response by asking your interviewer for recommendations of systems/technologies you could begin researching today!

"I am not fully tech-savvy, but I am interested in technology and I see the value it adds from an operational perspective. I am definitely a fast learner and I am excited to learn the new systems I would be using at Suncor if hired. Can you share the names of the main systems I would work with so that I can research them on my own?"
