Application Process & Interviews at Ixom New Zealand

Online application with CV and cover letter. This was followed by an online interview with recorded video responses. Then a psychometric test followed by in person interview.

Contracted out to third party until final interview

Initially there was a pre-screening test, a recorded interview and then the job interview. All of the aspects of the interview process were very easy to complete.

Online Assessment ---> Phone interview ---> face to face interview ----> Job

There were situational questions and we were asked to follow the STAR method for our responses.

STAR based questions about prior experiences

How did you save a dissatisfied customer about to leave? How would you improve a team's work ethic?

Situational questions , mostly relating to customer and technical abilities.

I would suggest highlighting your extracurricular activities and hands on work experience. Almost everyone applying will have a similar degree to you, so these features will set you apart.

Tell stories with your answers, open the floor for a conversation rather than question then answer

Do your research into the company and see what they're about.

Show that you are not just technically equipped with an engineering degree but that you are also really customer focused and can get on with a variety of people!
