I applied online. I interviewed at Austrade (Bengaluru)
Interview
30 mins interview with 2 situational question and 3 personal questions. They also provide time to think and answer. You will be told about the policy terms and conditions of the job in advance.
The interview process was three conversations:
1) an initial screening for alignment on start time, expectations, previous experiences, etc.
2) a more in-depth conversation around organization strategies
3) a final conversation based on more precise day-to-day scenarios of the work if accepted
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is your experience with engaging and continuing to engage with your rolodex of contacts in the field?
Typical government process, written application, interview, reference checks. Process took approx 3 months and there was little support between being verbally offered the job and starting the first day. Be prepared to chase and ask questions as there were conflicting instructions on process, documentation needed and timing.
