They want you to use the STAR method when answering all their interview questions. The questions are mostly situational ones to see how you would deal or solve it. There are 3 people on the interview panel.

I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Yarra Ranges Shire Council (Melbourne) in Apr 2023
Interview
They contacted me after two weeks of my application for a phone screening. Then, we arranged a time and date for the interview. Interview was pretty average, however they didn’t get back to me after two months and were pretty unprofessional after the interview process.
