Application Process & Interviews at Worley New Zealand

1 x phone interview with HR followed by 2 x skype interviews with process engineering team members and 1x face to face interview with engineers.

Process only consisted of an hour long interview. Very brief and relaxed.

If current employees know of anyone suited for the company, they are willing to interview them even if a role may not be advertised. I got my role through recommendation from another employee.

I was referred to the job by a friend already at the company, the interview was quickly organised and they were quick to get back to me.

Straight forward three step process. Apply, short format interview, final interview with senior manager and graduate present

Online application with CV and some specific questions Phone interview Skype interview In person interview

Online application followed by a phone interview and if possible, an in-person interview.

Application online, initial interview with HR person, second interview with discipline manager and graduate from same discipline, offer of role.

Good process was a phone interview followed by a formal interview.

Was a fairly quick process and didn't have too many steps to it

About my relevant work experience and how I would handle different situations which could arise.

What is the most difficult thing you've had to do? No other questions stuck out at me.

Generic interview questions like how I like to work, what I like to do outside of work, how I work in a team but also technical questions such as what makes up a safety case, how does a geothermal plant work.

About my experience and what I wanted to do with my career.

I wasn't. I was a summer student previously so I was asked if I would like to return to the company in a graduate role which I accepted. I got my summer student role from a scholarship out of school

What do you know about the company? Why do you want to work here? Tell us about you 4th year project

Why do you want to work for Worley, what's your experience, what can you offer that others cant?

How do I manage my time? How do people describe me? If I had two supervisors asking for work at the same time how would I handle the situation? How do I feel about moving to New Plymouth? What made me want to study chemical engineering?

Questions around technical experience and interest Situational based question such as tell us time when, or how would you deal with this situation

Know about what the company does. Show interest in the work involved. Apply critical thinking, don't just say what you think we want to hear. Comport yourself professionally. Don't be afraid to ask for time to think about a tricky question, there's no reason why you have to answer immediately.

Keep an open mind and come across as flexible when it comes to moving and what work you will be involved in.

Be approachable, the graduates screen the applications, the more approachable you are, the more likely you are to fit in and the more likely they are to recommend you. Technical skills are important too.

Be confident

Read up about the company, and be confident in your strengths and what you think you bring to the role. We look for well rounded. You just need to convey that you have a good work ethic and are prepared to learn and contribute to a team environment

Fairly generic

Be yourself in the interview. Often times when it comes to graduates, companies are looking

for team fit as well as technical abilities. At the end of the day, you learn 70% of what you do on the job so you need to prove that you can learn and work well in the team.

Think about why you would want to move to New Plymouth

Yes just be honest and don't try to be someone you're not in your interview.
