Jobbridge Interview - What to Bring?

TheGlass

Hi all, I've a jobbridge interview, and just wondering what I should bring to it, if anything? The application form was the standard jobbridge application form, so should I bring my CV?

Also, do jobbridge interviews tend to be the same as normal interview, or are they a bit more informal. The job is an admin job in an office.

Thanks

Treat it like any other interview and you'll be fine.

Haven't much experience with formal interviews, my previous jobs have been through connections or been far more informal. Trying to get into an office for the first time instead of being outdoors!

Yes it should be conducted in the same way as an interview for any other position. We interview for job bridge interns and the only real difference is that we'd make a decision based on one interview where as for permanent positions we'd have several interviews.

Do bring your cv, we'd always have them ahead of arranging the interview but just in case. Dress up, don't see it as just an intern position, the company are looking to invest in you, and in our case there's a perm job at the end if the candidate proves themselves.

Bring a copy of your CV and any qualifications you think are necessary. They probably will not even be looked at, but better to have them to hand.

Like any other interview, I had two interviews for the position I was in, a normal formal interview then a "practical" interview to demonstrate research skills.

Wear a suit and bring a copy of your CV.

Best of luck hope you get a full time position out of it.

Thanks for your responses. The company look professional but I get the impression they're just looking for someone to do some of the more menial jobs for free, was a bit surprised they didn't ask for a full CV first. Nonetheless I'd like to get it, the growing gap in my CV isn't doing me any favours and it would be good to get some kind of experience in an office and admin environment.

Just wear clean clothes. You'll get the "job". Free labour is hard to say no to.

Yes, don't put yourself to any expense.
Act like a pure professional the entire time, and use it as a dress rehersal for the real, paid job you will soon get. Don't be afraid to leave as soon as your time is up if you have a chance at a real job.
This is the best advice for you as a person.

The best advice which will benefit society as a whole is to reject the premise of job bridge.
Since the beginning of organised labour, seniors have trained and paid their trainees at the same time. This younger generation should reject the premise on principle.
