I applied online. I interviewed at Service Victoria
Interview
engineering and product 'panel'. Basically reading off a pre determined checklist of standard 'STAR' what most would refer to behavioural questions. Super formulaic and lacking creativity, Absolutely boring and disengaging process and likely reflective of the culture at a government organisation. Shame tax payer money employs such wasteful 'resources' and no wonder why the service Victoria app is sub par to say the least.

Question 1
Just type in 'Example Star Behavioural questions into google and boom! You have your pre determined answer set out. These guys on the panel were honestly laughable and cringeworthy. I was honestly stumped how repetitive and robot like their demeanour was. It was difficult to actually contain my eagerness to get the interview over with. Definitely dodged a bullet.
Very formulaic. Standard state gov process of STAR questions. It was a good interview process. It was very standard and short and direct. I liked it. It was good. People were nice and at a good time.

Question 1
Give us an example of when you had to work with lots of Stakeholders.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Service Victoria (Melbourne) in Jun 2022
Interview
I applied for this role around a year ago. Went through the official process, including submitting my resume and never heard back.
Applied once again a month ago, received an email asking me to complete a coding test "at my earliest convenience", which I did within 48 hours. Pretty sure I did quite well too.
Never heard back. Sent a follow up email a few weeks later asking for some sort of acknowledgement, etc - nothing. Not a word.
Rest assured, I will never be applying at Service Victoria again.
What a waste of time. Quite unpleasant to not even hear back after I invested a few hours of my time doing their coding test, before I even got a chance to speak to them.

Question 1
There was no interview. I got a coding test, which I completed with no issues, however I never heard anything back.
