Application process
We provide a personalised Graduate Program tailored to suit you and your goals.
Step 1 - application
Your application will take around 10 minutes to complete. Remember to carefully move through the pre-screening questions and answer thoroughly and truthfully. Complete all required fields and ensure you attach your resume and academic transcript (unofficial transcripts are fine also).
Step 2 - online assessment
If you pass the first step, you will be invited to complete a series of online assessments. This will help us determine your alignment to our values and suitability for a graduate role.
You'll receive an email detailing what you need to do.
This stage will test your problem solving and reasoning ability, as well as how you manage your and others emotions.
Step 3 - video interview
If you have never completed a video interview, it may be a good idea to get a feel for the process. Record yourself answering interview questions and then watching the replay. Gauge your confidence, body language and ability to answer the questions. Don’t panic! You'll get a practice run to test your mic and camera. You will also have some time to read the question and prepare before hitting record.
Step 4 - assessment centre
If you are successful in getting to this point, you'll be invited to attend a half day assessment centre. These are held between June and July. On the day you will complete a one-on-one interview, a business-related case study and a group activity.
You'll also have an opportunity to meet with our business leaders and graduates. You can use this as an opportunity to ask questions and find out if we are the right fit for you. It helps to show us your personality, so try and relax and enjoy the day.
Rest assured, the assessors on the day only want to see you shine!
Step 5 - job offer
Within four weeks of the assessment centre, you will receive a call from us.
You will then find out if you have been successful obtaining a Graduate role with Rural Bank.
A letter of offer will then be sent. You will be required to complete a background check and provide the details of two referees we can contact.
