I applied online. I interviewed at BAT (Lusaka, Lusaka) in Aug 2017
Interview
I applied online then the next day I got an e-mail for a culture questionnaire. I answered it thinking what could possibly go wrong. Then I got an e-mail saying I wasn't successful in the questionnaire.
Fair but rigorous. You go through different interviews with a different panel. Then you have to do a driving test for a manual car. The HR team is very supportive.
Phone interview with a HR rep that progressed to in-person interview with a state sales manager and area sales manager, in-person involved a role play and generic questioning: "tell us about a time when...." etc etc. Was told I would be contacted regardless of outcome and to not follow up myself, never heard anything.
