Make sure to actively listen and ensure to ask any questions that you may have when it\u2019s appropriate.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The STAR technique comes in handy to help you answer interview questions clearly and succinctly:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Situation<\/strong> &#8211; Describe a situation you were in. For example, a colleague was struggling with performance.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Task<\/strong> &#8211; Tell them what you decided to do. For example, I sat down with my colleague to discuss how I could help.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Action<\/strong> &#8211; Describe what you did. For example, I gave my colleague examples of how I improved my performance.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Result<\/strong> &#8211; Tell them what happened as a result of your actions. For example, their performance improved dramatically.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Why not practice answering the following questions using this technique:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What do you know about Nutrien Ag Solutions?<\/li>\n<li>Why have you applied to this role? Why are you interested in this role?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h5><strong>Prepare How You Present Yourself<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While you\u2019ve been chosen for an interview based on your skills, characteristics, and experience, it\u2019s essential that you look, act and dress professionally.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether you\u2019re meeting for an interview face to face or having a video interview, ensure you have allowed enough time and are dressing appropriately for the audience.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Quick tips for professional presentation:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Handle logistics early. Have your clothes, resume, directions to the interview location, or details of the video interview ready to avoid any extra stress on the day.<\/li>\n<li>If you are attending a video interview, ensure you have a plain (non-distracting background), ensure the link to your interview is working and that you are dressed interview-appropriate.<\/li>\n<li>It\u2019s always better to dress up a little more than dress down. Remember to opt for smart, clean and properly ironed clothing. Opt for smart shoes over sneakers, and get a parent to help if unsure.<\/li>\n<li>If attending in person, remember to offer everyone a smile in greeting and a firm handshake (if appropriate).<\/li>\n<li>Don\u2019t forget to send a follow-up thank you email letting the hiring team know you enjoyed meeting them and that the interview confirmed your interest in the role.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h5><strong>Make Your Next Interview a Success<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Preparing for an interview not only helps set you up for success but also helps you feel more motivated and confident.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remember, landing an interview is a fantastic step in itself! It shows you\u2019re on the right track, so even if you aren\u2019t offered the job, it\u2019s a good sign to keep doing what you\u2019re doing &#8211; and keep putting in the prep to land the next role that comes your way.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Ready to Learn More About Nutrien Ag?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reaching every corner of Australia, with a team of 4,000 experts working with farmers to solve challenges, Nutrien Ag Solutions is a globally backed business with a local focus.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Working to provide everything farmers need to grow our world from the ground up, there\u2019s a huge world of careers to explore with Nutrien Ag!<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Get started on their <a href=\"https:\/\/explorecareers.emotedigital.com.au\/employers\/nutrien-ag-solutions\/\">employer profile<\/a> at Explore Careers today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s (almost!) the season!
