Application Process & Interviews at Unilever Australia and New Zealand

The interview process was intense but good

It was very full on, but so is every grad program I applied for, so pretty standard.

A difficult process but very worth it!

It started off with submitting your resume and CV. Then had several online games, followed by an online interview. Then we had an assessment center which included a face to face interview and plenty of work based scenario's.

Interviews were challenging but rewarding

Was good other than being contacted last minute and asked to fly up- if I couldn't make it I wouldn't of got the role and I had to miss an important day of teaching.

There were 4 rounds: Online application, psychometrics, digital interview and in-person assessment centre.

Online interview - Psychometric testing - 3hr assessment centre - including 1 on 1 interview, case study, group assessment.

We had a series of online assessments, then we progressed to an online interview before having an assessment centre which had interviews at the end of the day.

Digital interview, was auto generated, found it was still applicable to the business but found it may not be personalised to the sector applied for. Psychometrics - was good, appreciated the report that was sent back to the applicant at the conclusion. Helped for the future interviews. Assessment centre - found was a little broad and bland for the area of supply chain. but found the interview at the conclusion was the most personable one I have been to. Wanted to get to know me rather then what my resume says.

Online application, games, video interview, assessment day

The assessment process was very long and had numerous components. There was psychometric testing, online video interviews, in-person assessment centre and in person interview.

There are comprehensive tests and collaborative components to the interview process. Really makes you think outside of the box and focuses a lot on your skillset and personality.

They asked relevant questions to supply chain. The last interview, however, was more personalized and lots of questions about who I am as a person and how I would act in certain situations.

What my purpose is? How I want my purpose to come to life at work?

How would you deal with challenges X Y and Z. What is your favorite memory regarding a Unilever product.

What is your purpose? Why this role/why this company? Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

Behavioral - Psychometric - Case studies

Tell me about you that does not include your resume - what do you do on the weekends, where are your passions? 'Why would you like to be in Supply chain'

Along the lines of situational situations and what you would do and also spoke about previous experiences.

How would you market ice cream in india? A lot of sitaitonal questions.

Business case analysis, and typical strengths and weakness interview questions.

To be themselves, to understand the company and the companies values and goals. Do they align with yours.

Being authentic has to be the biggest priority. A company based on people, means you need to bring your character to the interview, otherwise, you wont be a fit for the company. Further, knowing about our priorities and our brands will help, as you will be able to discuss things.

Firstly, know yourself well. Secondly, know your role well as there are a couple of case studies.

Know the brands, company. Be yourself and be honest.

Be genuine. Personality tends to be the deciding factor. Everyone is capable of doing the jobs we do now, it's a matter of how well you fit into Unilever's culture that matters.

Be authentic, and ensure you are heard during your interview process.

Be yourself.

Think about your purpose. Do your research about the company. Be honest and authentic.

Gain some insights into the company you are applying for. Be yourself and try to show examples of working in a team throughout the process.

If your resume got you to the interview, they know you are qualified to do the job, so what else can you bring to the table. There is no point talking about university experiences only as many others who are going for the job also experiences the same. So what else have you done that can add value to your resume? Best prepare - try as many digital interviews as you can, ensure your response is clear and concise. Draw from alternative experiences ie. travel, sport, friendships, family and explain how they are relevant, Think outside the box for your answer.

Break down questions into smaller and eaiser parts.

Practicing psychometric testing. Being comfortable in group scenarios and practicing scenario based interview questioning.

Be confident in yourself and your skills. Work collaboratively with the other candidates.
