Application Process & Interviews at Hood Sweeney

There were 3 interviews and a psychological test that you had to pass. I was not asked any difficult questions in my interview as I was a graduate and I had not been previously employed within my field of study.

I submitted my resume and from there I received a phone call to come in for an interview. Following the initial interview I completed an aptitude test of basic maths and comprehension. Once that was complete I had another interview and on that day I was confirmed as the successful applicant.

The interview process included two interviews, and psychometric testing.

There is an initial interview, and then progress to the standardised testing which includes a personality and aptitude test. From there, a 2nd interview is conducted and then the position will generally be filled within a week or two. The interview process was a positive experience.

The interviews were both very good, I was asked good questions and was challenged to think outside of the square, all while feeling comfortable within the presence of my interviewers.

The questions I was asked were pretty generic and personal in trying to get a better understanding of my character and my personality.

Questions regarding myself and how I got to achieving the results on my resume. My learning styles and preferences.

Background, previous jobs, skills and career aspirations.

Past experience, strengths, areas of development, how you like to be managed, what you like doing outside of work etc.

Why do I want to work at the company. What experience I have in different skills related to the role what I do outside of work. What challenges I have faced within a work or university environment.

I would recommend acquiring as much work experience as possible. Even consider taking up an activity or doing some self- development courses that will separate you from other candidates.

I would recommend doing research about Hood Sweeney and their core values. As with any company you interview for they will ask you what you know abut the company. I believe it will make a good impression to show you've taken to the time to research what Hood Sweeney is about. Stay calm and be authentic your personality will do more of the talking than any answers you give to the questions.

Have a strong resume and consider how you can explain your achievements and skills you have obtained.

Research Hood Sweeney, and be yourself in the interview.
