First stage interview was an online one where you were asked questions and had to record your answers. You had 5 minutes to answer each question and only 2 or 3 attempts each. I also had to complete an analytics portion to discuss what I would do in day to day activities. 2 days later I was rejected from the role

Question 1
Tell us about a time when you did what was right, even though there were easier options. Please describe the situation, your actions, and the outcome.
I interviewed at Newcrest Mining (Perth, Western Australia)
Interview
Easy going. Online interview first up followed by a test then a teams call to round it up. All was pretty good and replied me with an offer a few days later. Good job by the corporate teams to organise it that quickly. Shame the company went down but man it was pretty good beihg with them
