Submitted my CV and cover letter. Had a short phone call in English (15min) asking why Mainfreight, why I'm a good candidate, and my definition of leadership. Then, an interview with two people from training & development (English). Finally, an interview with the branch manager and someone else from training & development (Dutch). They were fast and clear with their communication, the process went very smoothly.
