First Round Questions

Please answer all questions in this section within in the application form. Number your responses appropriately.

1. Describe why was personal or team organisation critical in your last job? What methods/processes did you or your team utilise to ensure that details weren't missed while keeping the workload manageable?

2. a) What methods/tools do you use to forward plan?
b) How do you determine whether you are on track?
c) In cases where you are not on track, what goes through your mind?

3. How would you describe your previous work environment/boss?

4. Would you say that you NEED to be regularly around people to be properly stimulated and be effective? At GradReady, most of the work is done remotely. We work together physically on an as per needed basis. Usually we manage to resolve all issues remotely, but we still work together physically about 1 day/month for general team bonding. You have the option (if in Melbourne) of coming in to work if your home working environment is not ideal. However, most of the staff will not be physically present.

5. What methods do you use to gain a perspective of
a) Everything that you COULD be doing to accomplish your goals
b) Out of everything that you could be doing, which ones are the most important?

6. How do you determine if you are working effectively (as opposed to just putting in the hours and patting yourself on the back)?

7. When you were unable to achieve your goals last time, what did you determine as the root cause?

8. How many hours/week did you work in your last job? If you work part time as a student, how many hours per week do you spend on work + studies?
