I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Alcon (Sydney) in May 2012
Interview
On submission of my C.V. I completed an online appitude test to demonstrate my level of computer literacy and attention to detail. This was followed by an interview with HR and a senior member of the department in which I would be working. The interview lasted approx. and hour and all questions were to be answered in STARs format. The interview was fairly standard with all the usual type of questions, the only tricky thing was that HR, when asking for examples, seemed to re-phrase the same question and ask it again. So having a few examples prepared for the same time of situation may be advantageous.
The second interview was with the head of quality and the dept. in which I would be working. This interview was strictly based on my experience in order to determine my skill level and my capability to fulfill the requirements of the role.
Following the interviews they use an external company to verify your qualifications, references and perform police background checks, so be honest.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Reasonable questions but sometimes re-worded and re-asked so prepare plenty of examples.
