Interviewed and No Offer

Interviewed Jan 2010 in Sydney (Australia) (took 2 months)

Headhunted then went through 3 interviews with one panel interview. Then heard nothing further - not even a thanks but no thanks. So unprofessional both from the Headhunter and BT Management. Absolute waste of my time.

Interviewed and No Offer

Interviewed Apr 2010 in Sydney (Australia) (took a day)

I applied to the Corporate and Institutional Banking Program.
Recruitment process:

- Online application
- Reasoning and numerical test
- Phone Interview
- Assessment Centre.

Online application featured 1 question about what extra curricular activities you're involved in and how that contributes to Westpac.
The reasoning and numerical test consists of a moderately difficult maths based test, and one of those shapes (which is the missing shape) test. Practice is probably recommended for the shapes test.
The phone interview consists of 3 questions.
HR are quite friendly on the phone, and are quite understanding in how nervous applicants can be.
