Another H.R related question

[Phalanx]

I mean Human Resources, not Giger...

So I passed my initial excel/personality profile/and aptitude testing, got through to the second stage interview.

Pausing there for a moment.

There's a third stage which I find kind've weird....a couple days after the interview there's an "individual presentation", fucked if I know what THAT is.

But back to step #2. The Interview.
Anyone who's worked in/around HR, what would I expect from the interview?
What's some info I could look up to better equip myself?
What kind've questions would likely be fired?
What is important to the role, for me to know?

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Fuck I hate H.R and recruitment, why are you going for that?

The individual presentation would just be a selling of your soul....

Whysat? I've had to deal with some hr ASSHOLES sure, but I'm all good with others...

why are you going for that?

I mean, I already work in an office, right? More money, better job security.

going corporate are we? The interview process is fucking nerve wracking, i wouldnt wish it on anyone.

I thought you were a chef...

Yeah easier job more money, I know, just a sector that has pissed me of recently.

Not entirely corporate, the position is more of a trainee thing while working cross contract with my current role predominately.

The interview process is fucking nerve wracking, i wouldnt wish it on anyone.

That pretty much applies to ANY interview...I hate 'em...but yeah, trying to do some research between then and now so that I don't go in completely unarmed.

I thought you were a chef...

Lets just say that whole industry pissed me off. I still cook a lot and learn on my own, got to "caterer". But it's just, more fun as an "interest" for me, something that might be lost if I made it work.

Well you don't want to make yourself hate your passions... Good luck with the job, Is it a company in Sydney I would know?

What's the position for?

Most commonly asked questions on an interview:

• Why are you the perfect candidate for this job?
• What are your major strengths?
• What are your major weaknesses?
• Name a time in your past (job, school, eduction, prior experience) where you were faced with a challenge. How did you handle that situation?
• What experiences do you have that make you qualified for this job?
• What is your 5-year plan? Or, where do you see yourself in 5 years?

add,

When was a specific time you worked to meet targets and how did you acomplish it..

when was a specific time you helped someone in your team and how did you go about it..

Interviews are bullshit.. They will check yourfacebook or any profiles you have online as well... I have been interviewing recruiters for the past week and 90% do it..
