NOTES:
 * I had a very short (13 minutes) pre-preliminary phone interview. With only one person and two questions: one about my experience in French-speaking countries and one about my religion. Based on my answer about religion, I don't think I will be hearing back from them...
 * I am not sure why my comment got deleted by the previous commenter, but I will repost. (11/1) Someone I know had an interview with them after the phone screening. It does say in their job application that they are lawfully permitted to consider religion as a selection criterion. I personally don’t apply to these positions since I know we will not be a good fit for each other.
