Behavioral Presentation Technical

I applied through the job ad with my resume and cover letter. First, I had a phone call with a recruiter who asked some basic questions and about my interest in the role. Then, I had a panel interview over Zoom where I had to give a PowerPoint presentation on a specific topic, and after that, they asked me some typical interview questions.

Technical Presentation

The graduate interview had many steps. It started with a phone call, then an online quiz, followed by a 2-day assessment centre. On the second day of the assessment centre, I had to do a presentation. The whole experience was fun and interesting. They even flew people out to Sydney for the interviews.

After submitting your online application with your CV, transcript, and answering some basic questions, you'll have a video interview where they ask basic behavioral questions, questions about the company values, and if you're willing to travel for work. Then there's an assessment centre, followed by an interview and a presentation.
