The recruitment process

Currently, Cardno's Graduate Recruitment process consists of the following steps. 

• Submitting an application including your CV and Cover Letter. Your Cover Letter is crucial as it will tell them why you want to work for Cardno and why you are passionate about your chosen discipline so sell yourself.
• They conduct initial phone screens which are informal but tell them a little bit more about why you have applied for the role and what you know about them as a business.
• Their formal interviews (face to face or via Video Conference) contain a mixture of technical and behavioural based questions which are based on competencies they feel are important for their Graduates.
• Successful applicants are prepared, they are passionate about their subject area and can articulate why they enjoy their field of study. They don't expect you to have the best GPA but they do want you to have the right attitude, have an ability to pick up and learn new concepts, the ability to communicate effectively and be aligned with their core values.
