There are five steps in our hiring process. Here’s what you need to know about each stage, what you’ll need to do and how we’ll be supporting you along the way.  The first thing you’ll need to do is fill out a short online application form which will help us to determine if you’re eligible for the Program. You’ll also need to upload a copy of your resume and most recent academic transcript.

Resume tips:  
 

• Depending on your years of experience, a two-page resume is what you should be aiming for
• Try and focus on your most relevant experiences
• Tailor your resume to suit the pathway you’re applying for

 
Academic Transcript:
 

• Please upload the most recent version of your academic transcript
• If you don’t have an official copy of your transcript, we can accept a statement of results. However, if you progress to the interview stage, we will require a copy of your official academic transcript  

During this stage of the application process, we want to get to know you a little bit better. To help us do this, you’ll need to do a video interview and online assessment - the system we use is called HireVue. 

You can learn more about how to prepare for the interview and online assesments here. 

At this stage of the recruitment process, you’ll be asked to participate in an interview where you’ll be asked to present a pitch, discuss your motivations and respond to behavioural based questions. This will give you the chance to showcase your skills, personality, qualifications, work experience and mindset.

You can learn more about the final interview day and get a few tips here. 

Before we can offer you a place in the Telstra Graduate Program, we’ll need to conduct a couple of checks such as a security check before we can progress you to the final stage. This is the final step in the process! If you have been successful, we’ll give you a ring to let you know the good news.  You’ll then join us a Telstra graduate in 2021, or 2020 if you've successfully applied for our Telstra Graduate Program in Asia. 

We often see a high calibre of candidates throughout the interview process. Subsequently some candidates may just miss out on receiving a role with us. If this is the case, we will let you know and keep you in our reserve pool, so if roles become available later in the year, we will be in touch.    We’ve recently launched our Accessibility and Inclusion Plan, as we are extremely focused on creating a fully inclusive workplace.
 
During our recruitment process, if you identify as someone who is living with a disability, we can offer you a range of reasonable adjustment support services. Whether that’s providing you with visual aids for those who identify with having a visual impairment or those needing alternative building access.

Once you apply for the Program, your recruiter will be able to answer any questions you have to ensure we can support you as best we can.   Every year, we receive significant interest and volume of applications for our Programs. To assess each application fairly we do ask for your patience. Our team will update you as soon as possible at each stage of the recruitment process.  Online application outcome: By Thursday 16 April 2020
