Attending interview seminars when at university helped me learn a few tools to answer questions, for example the “STAR” response. It really helped me in giving a structured answer when I was being interviewed. In the end my efforts paid off by landing me a graduate job at OneSteel. [More]

I started off my career at OneSteel as a summer vacationer in Whyalla. That was quite a move for me as I had to relocate and like many of you that meant I had to move away from friends and family which seemed a bit daunting at times, but OneSteel really made it as easy as possible. I was housed with other vacation students and cadets at the University of South Australia campus which really helped me settle in. I found that I quickly made new friends who were always willing to take me out to new places, include me in activities or organise trips. [More]

My first role within the OneSteel Graduate Program was a Marketing Analyst position within the Piping Systems business in Adelaide. Moving from Melbourne was tough, as this was my first ‘real’ full-time job. Looking back, I am extremely thankful to everyone who made the transition as easy and seamless as possible. Everything was made as easy as possible – from moving and packing to finding a suitable accommodation, OneSteel did everything it could and never left me to fight it out myself. [More]

After finally completing university, you get that exhilarating feeling that your life is about to start. Year after year of exams and lectures and of course textbooks has finally brought you to this day. [More]

I took a lot of factors into consideration when I thought about which companies to apply to, but OneSteel stood out because it’s a company large enough to offer progression and learning. During the interview process, I got a good feeling about the technical training which would be offered during the grad program and that was really attractive. The fact I’d be living in the small, friendly community of Whyalla was also a plus. [More]

I loved my time at university. It’s as simple as that. Everything about the campus life and the experiences it gave me were unforgettable. So after graduating from the University of Birmingham back home in the UK, when the opportunity arose to become a member of staff, it seemed it was just meant to be that I stay. [More]

The fact the rotations lasted a year allowed me to get a good insight into the totality of each role. During the program, I was able to manage complete projects end-to-end and have a real impact on business processes and outcomes, as my roles had real responsibility and accountability. [More]

You probably have connected with mates from school, sporting clubs, past colleagues (and more worryingly, current colleagues,) people you met travelling, a guy/girl you met on Saturday night, business contacts, industry contacts….and the list goes on and on. There needs to be a point where you make a strategic decision about who you do and don’t accept into your social network. Let’s face it; your boss doesn’t need to know you’re “doing nothing at work today cause I was out partying till 5am this morning!” [More]
