Best advice would be to be yourself and friendly and to stay relaxed. Interview questions did not get too technical.

I interviewed at Rio Tinto (Perth, Western Australia)
Interview
Was previously in the vacation role so was accepted without interview. Only needed to complete a medical examination. After which I had a over the phone call with my Snr management where they told me about the team and work. Very enjoyable experience
I applied through university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Rio Tinto (Boron, CA) in Feb 2015
Interview
Phone interview with a team of employees for the Boron mine in CA. Got asked to come for an on-site interview which took about 8 hours. Had a complete tour of the mine, sat in on meetings, spoke with individual members of the team. Very educational interview, but very draining.

Question 1
Usual interview questions with human resources. Seemed like the rest of the day spending time with several employees was a personality read and to see if I was a good fit with the current employees.
