Interview

They were nice, and it felt like an informal chat. It was a panel of interviewers, and had some pretty technical questions. They are prompt with email responses.

Application

I applied through college or university. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at University of Otago (Dunedin, Otago) in October 2015.

Interview

The interview itself was very intimidating, whilst there was water available, the panel were very stern and not open in their mannerisms. This made me feel that the position had already been filled and they were just going through interviews to tick boxes. I felt very deflated afterwards.

Interview

I applied via HR for the position of IT Trainer. I did a training presentation, as I have had to do with every training job I have ever applied for. I then had a face to face interview, where I was asked questions by my prospective boss and colleague. It was a good interview process with my boss asking questions related to my work style and experience, and my colleague asking questions regarding my technical prowess. As this role requires software training, admin, and some technical support of the systems we use, it was necessary to satisfy a wider range of skill criteria.
