How should I prepare for the interview?

Shortlisting of applications for interview by the Selection Panel may take up to two (2) weeks after the closing date.

If you are selected for an interview an Officer from the City of Wanneroo will telephone you to organise a convenient time to conduct the interview.

The questions asked on the interview will relate to the selection criteria for the position and each applicant will be asked the same set of questions.

To prepare yourself for the interview, read the Position Description, your application and the Job Information pack carefully. Then focus on the selection criteria and think of some specific examples where you applied relevant skills and abilities to these criteria.

The interview panel will consist of at least two people, possibly three. Do not assume that each panel member knows your suitability for the job, even though you may have worked with them, or have previous experience in the position you have applied for.

During the interview, Selection Panel members will write notes and assess your answers in response to the structured questions, ensuring that applicants are examined in an objective and informed manner.

Should you not understand a question asked during the interview please seek clarification prior to providing a reply. Feel free to ask questions of the panel relevant to the position or the City.
