Students and Graduates Selection Process

1. Online application (15-30 minutes)

   You will need to upload your resume, transcripts and details of your work or volunteer experience. We highly recommend you also write a supporting statement to showcase your suitability and interest in the program.

2. Online ability testing (90 minutes)

   If eligible, you will be invited to complete online ability testing which will assess your ability in verbal, numerical and inductive reasoning.

3. Phone interviews (10 minutes)

   For those who progress, you can expect a call from one of our recruitment consultants. Be prepared to discuss your interest in the Bank, why you applied and what you would bring to the Bank if successful.

4. Assessment and face-to-face interviews (3 hours)

   We will then be in contact to invite successful applicants in to our Sydney office. You can expect:

   • A face-to-face interview

   We will organise travel for any successful interstate applicants.
