Interview tips
An interview with ACMI is a two-way conversation where we’re both working out how we might work together. Here are some tips to prepare yourself for the interview:

- Research a bit more about ACMI and who you’re meeting
- ACMI is a fairly informal organisation so there’s no requirement for a suit but we recommend you dress smartly for the interview.
- We are open to alternative requests for interviews, including locations, online interviews, bringing a support person or advocate. If you have any other ideas, please contact the People & Culture Team at peopleandculture@acmi.net.au

- Use the STAR method to respond to behavioural questions or when providing examples.
