Interview tips from our new starters
Hear how they aced their interview and joined Nine.
"Take a breath and think about what the question is asking before you respond. I often feel nervous and rush to answer a question straight away, but by taking a moment to pause and consider, I feel I'm able to address what I'm being asked in a more relevant way."
Rachel Rasker
Health Reporter, Sydney Morning Herald
"Trust yourself and the work that you have put in. It's better to have a solid sense of self and to be enjoyable to interact with than to have a rigid script prepared for every situation."
Daniel Dickerson
Associate Data Engineer
"It’s so easy to get caught up in trying to give the perfect answers and impress the panel, but you’re also deciding if this place is right for you. I always suggest coming ready with 2 or 3 genuine questions about the day to day reality, team culture, or how they support growth. Not only does it show you're seriously interested, but it proves you have the soft skills to match your technical ones!"
Charlotte Meekings
Media Coordinator, Stan
"Be your most authentic self. That way you will increase your chances of finding somewhere you can add to the culture. In my view, joining a team where you can add to the culture is more important than being technically competent, because I value personal connection and having a laugh at work."
Yan Santos
Senior Group Financial Analyst
"My go-to interview tip would be to always be yourself and put your personality on display. It's guaranteed to leave a lasting impression and separate yourself from other candidates."
Megan Cronin
Sales Executive
Interview tips from our Talent Acquisition team
We asked the team behind hiring at Nine what advice they had for candidates to truly make their mark.
"Do your research on the company – it’s so important, demonstrates genuine interest, and will set you apart from other candidates."
Leanne Harrington
Talent Acquisition Partner – Digital & Technology
"Know your strengths, and know your CV well!
Candidates need to remember that they’re in the interview because the hiring team already liked what they had to offer on paper. The job now is to connect the dots from the CV into conversation – taking those bullet points and proving the real-world value you’ll bring to the team."
Blake Males
Talent Acquisition Advisor
"Show, don’t just tell, your soft skills. Instead of just saying you’re a ‘great communicator,’ use the STAR method to give a specific example of a time you had to pivot your style to get a result. Proof beats a buzzword every time."
Ashley Antidormi
Talent Acquisition Partner – Sales
"Tailor your CV to the role and go the extra mile and connect with the recruiter or hiring manager on LinkedIn to lift your application out of the pile!"
Ranj Pillai
Talent Acquisition Manager – Digital & Technology
"Avoid simply rehashing your CV, shift your focus from what you’ve done to what you will do. Show us you’ve done your homework by sharing specific ideas on how you’ll drive growth for our unique brands and audiences."
Nicole Williams
Talent Acquisition Partner – Publishing
"Research the company until you find a specific project or goal that actually interests you. Link that interest directly to the role you’re applying for. Instead of just listing your skills, you’re showing them exactly why you’ll be motivated to do the work every day."
Zoe Tye
Talent Acquisition Partner – Streaming & Broadcast and Corporate Functions
"Don’t aim for perfect, aim for real!"
Issy Thompson
Talent Acquisition Partner – Streaming & Broadcast
"I deconstruct the job ad before I step into the room. I map my biggest wins directly to the responsibilities or ‘must-haves’ so I’m not just giving generic answers. Using the STAR method to bring those specific responsibilities to life makes the whole process feel way more intentional, and honestly, a lot less stressful because I know I have the relevant examples ready to bring to life."
Katie Duckworth
Head of Talent Acquisition & Internal Mobility
