What do you think are some of the most important skills for this position.
Easy, behavioural questions and technical questions. Screening questions and those hocous pocus personalities questions. Then interview them site interview. Meet with the team manager standard stuff. Nothing out of ordinary
I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Rio Tinto (Perth, Western Australia)
Interview
Technical and behavioural questions asked. The interview was close to 1hr and divided into a technical component and behavioural component. Submitted cv online, had a phone interview and was then short-listed to a face to face interview. The process took around 4 months from applying.
Lengthy, took a couple of months from first step to reach a final in person interview. Reviewed analytical skills and live interview covered technical and personality questions. Was okay but lots of steps.
