I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Origin Energy (Melbourne) in Aug 2024
Interview
teams meeting interview, went for 45 minutes. was a relaxed interview that felt like a conversation & it was a smooth process. i think it was a good way to do the interview in the comfort of your own home.
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Origin Energy (North Melbourne) in Jan 2023
Interview
recruiter interview, and 1 interview online with a few managers. Lots of customer service based questions and scenario based/example based questions.
Lots of prep, they expect you to really understand the role.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
describe a time you got feedback and what did you do with it
It was booked for 45 min interview but it turned out to be 56 minutes and it sure did feel like it.
Two TLs interviewed me and they were nice and chill but obviously it was an interview and I did feel like I was being delicately but surely grilled!
They wanted me to share experiences of how I faced mistakes at work place, of course with an example and in depth. How did I overcome obstacles? Why do I want to join Origin and why I want to be a Specialist?
It was actually fun to give the interview but I was really concentrating on how I should answer. They kept going back and recalling what I said so I had to retain what I said as well.
Only one of them was asking the questions the other guy was probably making a record of everything.
I am still waiting for the response from their side.
