So, what does FDM’s recruitment process involve? Here’s a handy guide with tips to help you get one step closer to your dream job!
The first stage of the FDM recruitment process is completing an online application. Graduates have the option of choosing their preferred training pathway, either the business or technical stream.
When applying, always tailor your CV to the role and the organisation that you are applying for. Highlight the key areas in the selection criteria from your previous experiences. Adding a cover letter which demonstrates your interest for the role is a bonus as well!
After applying online, a member of the Recruitment Team will contact you for an informal chat to discuss the program and opportunities, and to ensure you meet the eligibility criteria.
The next step in the recruitment process is a 15 to 20-minute telephone interview consisting of a series of behavioural and experience-based questions. In the interview, your recruiter will assess your research into FDM, career aspirations, passion and knowledge of the IT industry and communication skills.
The final stage of the process is the FDM Assessment Day. For Sydney-based candidates, the assessment centre takes place in our Sydney centre in Barangaroo. The assessment day typically runs in the afternoon for 3 to 4 hours and consists of numerical and IT aptitude tests as well as face-to-face strength-based interviews. For non-Sydney based candidates, a virtual assessment centre is held wherein interviews are carried out via skype and tests are completed online. The assessment day also includes a presentation about the company, a tour of the Sydney centre and a FAQ session by the HR manager.
Read the Assessment Centre guide thoroughly. FDM’s interviews are strengths based, which are designed to assess your capability and motivation. We’re not looking at your CV at this stage so make sure you are able to articulate your experience. Finally, be yourself and have fun! Finally, be yourself and have fun!
