Behavioral Technical

I was excited for the role, but the job description for this is too vague as they don't tell you until the interview that you will be working in 10 hour days with 4am starts! And you will be in operations (the warehouse) for at least a year (or the rest of you life!!). I have no idea why any graduate would want this. They are better off being transparent and hiring people with any qualifications. It's not "growth" if you're stuck in operations forever!

After applying online and submitting my CV, I got an email about a potential phone interview. We set a date and time, and then the call happened. They asked some general questions about the company and how I thought I'd fit in. Following that, there was a video conference interview because the interviewer was in Melbourne. About two weeks after that, I was given an offer.
