I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Edcon (Johannesburg) in Jul 2010
Interview
A very thorough, automated interview process using online assessment tools, which are actually quite fun. Shows they really are looking for a culture fit, not just ability and skills. Thereafter a personal interview which was great, open, honest, and really showed they wanted the right people to work there.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
For the "human" interview, none really - they don't try "trick" you. They just want to assess you honestly and see what you are like, which is nice. Obviously you need to be able to discuss and answer intelligently regarding whatever you say your skills and experience is. The computer based assessment tools ask weird questions and some interesting brain-teasers, but these are to test lateral thinking and things like that - more of a game, no "wrong" answers really.
