Employability Award Interview Guide

Once your written application is approved, you will be sent an email inviting you to book at interview, which includes an interview rubric. You are encouraged to familiarise yourself with the criteria as it will be used by the panel to review your performance during the interview.

Prior to your interview, make sure to practice: 

• sharing your value proposition - how would you introduce yourself to the panel if you were asked "tell us a little bit about yourself?" 
• responding to behavioural interview questions - by using the STAR technique, how would you explain an situation that demonstrates a key capability and show how it prepares you to excel in a future work environment?
