I had to do some online games and a personality test, then a virtual interview. The online games were pretty straightforward, involving tasks like button mashing, quick thinking, and memory challenges. The interview was tougher, and using the STAR method was helpful.

It was a panel interview with five interviewers. They asked questions that built on my previous answers. The overall vibe was friendly and encouraging. They seemed to care more about personality than technical skills. I'd recommend preparing things like the current Standard Bank share price, basic macroeconomic knowledge, and staying up-to-date with the news.

Technical Behavioral

We started with an online application. Then you get an email about doing some aptitude tests (about 4 of them): numerical, personality, logical, and situational/judgemental. You do them one after another and get instant feedback on whether you passed. You have to pass each one to move on. Next, you'll get an email to do a video interview. It's about 30 minutes long and has 9 to 11 questions. You get 30 seconds to prep for each question and 1.30 minutes to respond, which will be recorded.

Confirmed questions3 questions
  • Tell me about a major setback.
  • Can you describe a project you're proud of?
  • What is your understanding of customer service?
