Application Process & Interviews at BMD

With a basic knowledge of work and with some background experience in the field would help us with the interview process.

Interview process was not convoluted at all. Applied via online application and was then contacted for an interview.

I first had a brief phone interview, which then led to an in-person interview. I was then required to do a brief take home assessment. I was then offered the job.

Interview process was surprisingly fast. No assessment required, just a two-part interview process.

It was a comfortable and professional experience.

phone interview for the 1st round, then online video for the 2nd round

The hiring process could be faster and could have better communication from company to prospective employees as there was a fair amount of chasing up and starting the conversation to get the ball rolling.

Had one Interview through teams

Assessment process is really good, and BMD is picking the candidates who perfectly suits for the job.

The interview process was great. I was invited to interview 2 months before my graduation date. The interviewer was approachable, friendly and easy to talk to.

I remember taking one formal interview with the HR rep and the construction manager

The interviewer were very friendly and welcoming which helped reduce my nervousness.

I didn't undertake any assessments prior to being employed, my interview process was as follows: 1. I applied online 2. Received phone call offering an interview. 3. Went in for interview with 2 x HR employees and 1 x Senior PM 4. Interview was good, was told I could start work 5. Was hired within a day or two

very transparent and value character to bring to team dynamics.

The interview process was very quick and easy for me. It was more of a generalised interview as I only had just finished university and had no prior experience in the industry.

One interview in person and one over the phone

2 on 1 online interview, construction manager and HR. Each asks their own questions, relating to personal/behavioural & about BMD.

I had couple of interviews before joining BMD. I was interview in SA by mix of people in varying roles. I had a lovely conversation with them. They made me really comfortable with the new surroundings. Instead of asking the usual interview question, which make people feel fear and nervous, they took the approach different way, where they just simply have an open talk while getting to know me as a person.

The hiring process was amazing, and they organise a lot of stuff for you, for the interview,. It was the Construction Manager who did my interview and it turneds out to be like a casual talk. I was so nervous at first but then when we started talking, I become comfortable and at the end of the interview, he told me the good news right away that they are happy to proceed with my application.

The process was very friendly, and I had a very casual interview. The interviewer just wanted to know what I know and what I want to achieve working at BMD.

no

Research our company thoroughly, understand our values, and be ready to discuss how your skills align with our goals. Practice common interview questions and be prepared to share specific examples of your achievements.

Read more information about the company before the interview

Just be themselves and understand the demands of the role by networking with professionals in similar roles or from within the company before applying.

Do plenty of research one the company ask employer plenty of questions be keen and eager to learn

Technically strong. Don't be a book worm, need to learn practically and able to apply the skills that you learnt in your life. Driver's licence will give some added advantage.

My advice to future candidates would be to do some research about the company ahead of time to learn more about the company and decide whether it's the right fit for them.

Just be yourself and be committed to putting in a good work ethic.

Dress smart - Be confident - Be yourself. - Do not lie or exagerate your abilities

Be honest with yourself and your interviewer. Keep in mind your attitude has more impact than what's written on your resume. I made sure to express my eagerness to begin work during my interview, and I believe that reassured the interviewers I'd be a solid selection for employment.

Review company past projects and values.

Research into the company's values

Research and understand what BMD stands for and its vision. Reflect on your objectives/goals and whether if your aligns with the firm. Always be yourself and do not afraid to ask questions.

I advise to be themself and attend the interview.

When applying, workout your resume first, don't put too much flowery words or details that will make your application unbelievable. When sending resume through email, compose an email with you r cover letter, in this case tell them about yourself and why would they choose to hire you. When they schedule you for interview, before coming in prepare a lot of interview question that possible they're going to ask you, so that you're mentally prepared and confidently answer them.

Be yourself and focus less on specifics and more on who you are and how you learn.

Talk about the company culture during the interview. Be well prepared for the technical questions, but mention that you like the family culture and loyalty. Talk about career progression within the company, because lots of people have progressed from grads to upper management.

Learning the history of the company eg, - How the company started and the values the company is built on Researching these things prior to interviewing helps to give an understanding as to the company and work environment that you are applying for.
