Once we've received your application, the review process starts. If you've made it to the shortlist, you'll receive a call from a HR representative to discuss your application further. Shortlisting and screening of candidates will take place from 24 August until 5 September 2008.

Useful tips:

• Be prepared for your phone interview - keep a record of your application.
• Think about why you want to work for iiNet.
• Know your schedule - if you are successful and make it to the next stage, we will want to book you in for an interview.

Our first round of interviews will run from 8 - 19 September 2008. We'll ask shortlisted applicants to attend an interview which will run for approximately two hours.

The interview will include:

• A presentation on what you can expect as a graduate here at iiNet.
• Online testing which includes spelling, grammar, computer skills and a typing test.
• A behaviourally based interview with a HR representative - to give us specific examples of how you draw upon your skills and experience.

Useful tips:

• First impressions always last, so make sure yours counts - take care with your personal presentation.
• Arrive 10 minutes before your interview's start time.
• Bring all relevant information - including contact details, up-to-date referee information and academic records.
• Be prepared - do your research and find out as much as you can about the company.
• Think of what your strengths are, what you can bring to the company and why we should hire you over another candidate.
• Make eye contact and don't be shy.

Our second round of interviews will be running from 22 September - 10 October 2008. These interview will run for up to 45 minutes, with both a HR representative and a Team Manager.

Friendly tips:

• Again, take extra care with your appearance.
• Arrive 10 minutes before your interview's start time.
• Be prepared.
• Make eye contact.
• Think of questions that you can ask the hiring manager that are relevant to the role, the team, the environment and projects that you will work on.

An important part of the recruitment process, psychometric testing and reference checking will be run from 6 - 10 October 2008.

Psychometric Testing:
Once you've made it to this stage, we'll arrange for you to complete a psychometric test through an external provider. The testing generally takes between 3-4 hours and is a combination of an ability assessment and personality profile.

Reference Checking:
Next up, we'll need to complete 2 reference checks. These must both be professional references, where your referees are managers from your previous employment.

Just before we make an offer, you'll be given the opportunity to tour our iiNet offices in Perth. We feel this is an important step in our recruitment process because it gives you an opportunity to glimpse into the working world at iiNet - our people, our culture, our workplace. Office tours will run from 13 - 17 October 2008.

We're almost at the finish line.

During early November we'll be making verbal offers to successful applicants for our graduate positions. Once you've verbally accepted our offer we'll send you out a Graduate Employment Pack.

We'll also require potential recruitees to provide an up-to-date police clearance to complete the process.
