I interviewed at Rio Tinto (Perth, Western Australia)
Interview
Standard. Few questions about me my hobbies my work history and then behavioural questions. It was like they had a script and needed the answers in a specific way to be able to move forward with a candidate
The interview with the HR team was mainly about previous experience, what triggered the candidate to apply for a particular position and familiarity with a company's activities. Since the work location was at the open sea, they asked about willingness to work in such a place and ability to work under extreme conditions. They emphasize the importance of personal traits such as working in a team, thinking out of the box, etc.

Interview
During the interview, the environment was welcoming, with a strong focus on behavioral questions that allowed for discussing past work experiences and accomplishments. They used a structured approach, often with the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result) to dig into specific examples of how I handled various situations. The interviewers were approachable, making it easy to explain my responses in detail. I felt encouraged to share my unique experiences and perspectives.
They asked about ten questions, covering a range of topics like problem-solving, teamwork, handling challenging situations, and specific project outcomes. The atmosphere was relaxed, with no high-pressure questions, allowing me to focus on demonstrating my strengths and achievements comfortably.
