Interview Preparation Tips

Round: TELEPHONIC INTERVIEW
Experience: Telephonic interview has some questions related to your interest in company, your leadership and team skills, strengths, safety and sustainability.

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: This interview was quite unconventional and 45 minutes passed in the blink of an eye. I sensed that the interview was very open ended so kept on driving the interview towards the topics I was comfortable with. There were times when we were discussing about the cognitive capacity of a human brain and others when the discussion drifted towards the future of energy in developing countries. She seemed more than willing to hear about anything I wanted to speak on and that almost made me fall in love with her ;). As for what went wrong, clearly, I may have gotten carried away a little.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: In the HR interview it was quite a frank chit chat about my family background, my stay at IIT Kanpur, my interests apart from academics, what did I know about rio tinto, Was I excited to work at rio-tinto, what was Norway like, was it a good place to travel, was I interested in music/dance/acting, my roles in student leadership at iitk, how did I differentiate between a leader and a manager, how did I value safety, what did I think of sustainability for a company like rio tinto etc. Finally she asked me if I had any questions. I had become so comfortable during the interview that I ended up asking more than 5 questions.

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: It was a group of 2 gentlemen most probably engineers as the interview was more of a technical one. HR Interview:
I had prepared for almost all the questions asked in the interview so it was a quite a smooth one. Also, to my surprise, I was able to answer all the chemical engineering questions. As for what went wrong, I may have over-glorified my summer internship, as the interviewer seemed a little offended.

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: It was a group of 6 people including both HR and technical people. It was my last interview of the day. This one lasted for 10-12 minutes. No technical questions were asked.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: This interview was again a small chitchat. I was asked to introduce myself. Then, they told me about the work that I might be doing there, the culture of the company and weather in Australia. They asked me how could I be useful for the company if selected. Finally they asked me if I had any questions. What went well/What went wrong: it was in their eyes that they wanted to make me an offer so I just had to avoid screwing up anything. Guess I was able to make good conversations and did not screw up technical questions.
