I found the job opportunity on seek.com.au and saved it. Then I chatted with the awesome local Talent Acquisition Team who discussed the job requirements and my background with me. After that, an interview was arranged with the senior global managers. Then I had an interview with senior technicians. Shortly after, I got feedback from the local Talent Acquisition Team, and they told me I was successful in the interviews. Then came the offer and a background check was organized. Soon after, the offer was signed, and I received a welcome letter. It's the best job application experience I've ever had. Thanks Nutanix team!

The interview was a multiday affair. First, there was a call with a company recruiter. Then, I spoke with the manager. Following that, I had a multi-hour review with several technical staff members. On day 1, I was given links to Nutanix products documentation and had time to study it in preparation for the technical interview on day 3. The questions on day 3 were designed to confirm my skills as listed on my CV and my in-depth knowledge of Nutanix products.
