There were 3 stages to the interview. 1. Screened by recruiting agency. This was fairly smooth, relavent information was provided 2. Pre- interview assignment. I was given an assignment with different scenarios and asked to give a written response to them. I was not given feedback on my answers, however I was offered an interview. 3. The interview stage consisted of 4 30 minute interviews. At this point, I was a graduate with very little experience which I had made clear at the screening stage. The first three interviewers were professional, pleasant and gave me a chance to answer questions based on my limited work experience. The last 30 minute interview with the hiring manager did not go very well. She was not aware that I was a recent graduate and did not make an effort to ask me questions based on my experience. Only 5-10 minutes in to the interview she told me she had nothing to ask me, which was disappointing since I had come so far, and had made it clear from the start I did not have specific experience for the role, but certainly had transferrable skills. It was clear that I would not be considered for the role and was told ‘if this didn’t work out’ to apply for different roles, which I thought was inappropriate to disclose during the interview. The last interview felt very unprofessional and I was left feeling that I had wasted a lot of time.

First interview was very quick and to the point. It consisted of my experience, why I was looking for a new position and what my salary expectations were. There was time for any questions I had regarding the company or position.
