Please describe the interview process and assessments.
The interview process is very simple and straightforward: first, you will receive a call from HR and they will discuss a suitable interview time with you. Afterwards you will have an interview with HR and manager. This is going to ask you about your experience and why you are suitable for this position.

Graduate, Sydney - 18 Oct 2023
My advice for candidates is to do research on a company and it's values prior to applying or attending an interview to assess whether these values are what you resonate with as an individual. This not only allows you to establish if it is the right fit for you but also makes it easier to feel comfortable with answering behavioural questions as you can easily and confidently incorporate these values into your answers.
