I was sent the details of the position, including the salary, the expectations, job description etc. I then lodged my application through the CSIRO recruitment website (which is very streamlined. For example, my CV was already there from previous applications, my proof of Aboriginality- preventing people from having to submit forms repeatedly). A few days after I submitted this, I was sent an email which listed possible times for interviews, which is when I selected a time best suited to me (interview was online). I went through the interview, and then got into the second round, which followed the same select-a-time process, and we discussed logistics and technicalities. Finally, I was told I was successful, and then the introduction stage occurred, where I was inducted, trained, met my team etc.

Online application & online interview. Needed to provide a cover letter outlining why you wanted the role & addressing a couple of prompts. The online interview platform was very easy to use and did not require anything to be downloaded or set up on my end. Super fast at making a decision both for the interview and for the job. Had to provide GPA & grades.

Intern, Hobart - 17 Dec 2021
For the vacation program I looked at the projects offered at CSIRO and applied for a couple that interested me. I was contacted after the closure date and CSIRO organised an online interview for myself to attend. The interview was enjoyable and the people interviewing reiterated that they didn't want it to be too formal. It was really a chance to get to know me and for me to get to know the supervisors and more about the project I applied for. A couple weeks later I received a call to say I was successful. The process was very smooth and the application was easy to complete.
