I applied online. I interviewed at Nielsen (Auckland, Auckland) in Mar 2013
Interview
Job was advertised on seek.co.nz
I applied for the job and was contacted a week or two after the closing date of job applications.
I was emailed requesting me to do a psychometric test.
I was then emailed saying that I passed that test and I was then given a case study to work on.
A bunch of graphs on sales and customers and you have to present your recommendations/findings to them. Strangely this was done over the phone (not even skype) and I was offered the job without them ever seeing me.
