Question 1
What would be one aspect of the role responsibilities are you least excited about
I applied online. I interviewed at La Trobe University (Melbourne) in Jun 2025
Interview
Awful. Passed screening and 1st interview, good conversation with 1 of the panel member. Organised 2nd interview and was stood up at a face to face interview.
No follow up, limited apologies, must be an awful culture.
