I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Taronga Zoo Sydney in Apr 2023
Interview
Two stage interview; group interview (to see how you interact with other potential peers) and an individual interview. Group interview had a task to determine how well you work in a group and how you give input in group projects. The individual interview asked basic scenario based questions and questions regarding availability (required year round for successful applicants)

the process was easy and straightforward. No trick questions which was surprising everyone was very helpful. the process was easy and straightforward. No trick questions which was surprising everyone was very helpful
I applied through other source. I interviewed at Taronga Zoo Sydney (Sydney)
Interview
Clear, organised, and friendly. Specific education requirements and experience felt important. I got the impression they were looking for the right fit. Some of the questions were also personal, not just professional. The requirements of early mornings and abnormal shifts were raised. Highlighting that it was not a 9-5 position.
