Application Process & Interviews at Johnstaff

I had to submit my resume and university transcript. Following this I completed a phone interview and then a face to face interview before being offered the position.

I was first introduced to the recruiting team at the university careers fair, not long after submitting an application for the Graduate Program. After meeting the team at the fair and submitting my CV online, I was invited to an interview with the Principal of the Victorian business unit. Shortly after, I was offered a position in the Graduate Program.

The interview process is pretty straightforward. The first step for me was a phone interview followed by a face to face interview with the business unit principal.

The interview process was smooth and a lot less daunting than other interviews I had before my employment at Johnstaff. As it was during COVID I was unfortunately unable to attend my interviews in the office. However, I was involved in two interviews during the process.

First Step - Phone Interview with the Project Manager I would possibly be working with.

Questions I was asked ranged from previous experiences, reasons for wanting to be a part of the company, my career ambitions and personal interests and hobbies.

What do I know about the company? What do I understand by Project Management?

Be yourself and don't feel like you need to know everything now and have the experience of someone who has worked many years in the industry. The process is more focused on understanding whether you would be the right fit within the team and the company culture and your attitude to learning and developing with Johnstaff.

Ask as many questions as possible, the team at Johnstaff are very inviting. The advice I would give to best prepare would be to have a good understanding of what discipline you want to go into so you can ask specific questions.

Be confident and honest about what you know.
