I applied online. I interviewed at G.J. Gardner Homes (Auckland, Auckland)
Interview
I interviewed over zoom as I was unwell with covid at the time. Two men attended one was the franchise owner and other was a hiring / psychological assessment consultant - someone who I wouldn't be working with but the owner had employed to lead the hiring process. I really wanted to talk to the owner to ask more indepth questions about the role and expectations however the interview was overtaken by a raft of questions from the consultant that were delivered in a clinical and somewhat confronting manner. I didn't feel I had the chance to connect with the Employer because of this and I left the interview grateful it was over.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The Consultant asked me "If I feel I knew myself".
Very welcoming and a well structured interview process. Easy to get along with people, All questions were asked easily and very comfortably. I would highly recommend this company. The receptionist was also very welcoming and offered me water.
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 8 weeks. I interviewed at G.J. Gardner Homes (Buderim) in May 2024
Interview
It took 8 weeks to get an interview booked in and when I finally drove the 90 minutes to attend the location, the interviewing manager had forgotten to show up. Poor form and shows the chaotic internal situation. I let them know that, given this, I was no longer interested in the position
