How to practise for Telstra video interviews

• Prepare your motivation answer by naming what you can bring to your chosen area, with one specific example.
• Rehearse a challenging task example where you delivered to a high standard, covering the standard you set and how you met it.
• Prepare a relationships example showing how you built trust with a colleague or customer, with the result.
• Practise adapting to change: describe a change you faced, how you adjusted, and what you delivered.
• Practise out loud and record yourself, since these questions are answered in a recorded video format.

Questions candidates ask

What kind of questions come up in the Telstra video interview?

Our Telstra pack includes questions such as 'Please tell us why you are interested in a graduate role at Telstra' and 'Please provide an example of a time when you were responsible for completing a challenging task to a high standard.' The recurring themes are motivation, building relationships and trust, initiative, adapting to change and delivering tasks on time.

How should I structure my answers for a recorded video interview?

Give a direct answer first, support it with one specific example, then close briefly. Use situation, what you did and the result for experience questions. Practise out loud to a timer, and record yourself to check pace and that you finish within the limit.

Which Telstra pack should I start with?

There is one pack, 'Graduate Programme Video Interview', for the Australia video interview stage. Start there, as it covers the motivation and competency questions you describe. If your invitation names a different market, choose the pack that matches it.
