Hi!

Why should I choose to apply with NAB? I am currently studying HR and there are a lot of different companies out there. I like the look of NAB but I'm not sure of the benefits? Do you know how many exams I will have to sit to become fully qualified?

Thanks

Hi bobma7ley,

Great question!

The NAB Graduate Program is an 18 month rotational program designed to give you an understanding of all aspects of our business and to provide you with a range of opportunities for a successful career at NAB.

Plus there are regular networking events, plus plenty of opportunities for you to play a role in the Graduate Community.

There are many great opportunities for HR students. A support specialty stream in People & Culture (HR) provides you with experience by rotating through areas such as Workplace Relations, Diversity, Performance and Reward, Recruitment, Organisational Capability, Talent Management and The Academy.

We offer a range of employee benefits including discounted financial products and services. However we're also committed to a balance of work and personal commitments.

To be eligible to apply for the program you must have completed your degree in the past 3 years (bachelor’s degree or master’s degree). Or be currently undertaking your degree for completion by January 2012. Therefore all university exams must be completed by this date.

Hi Julian,

Great to hear you’re a fellow customer and interested in finding out more about the NAB Graduate Program.

At NAB we accept applications from a wide range of disciplines.

Our 18 month program offers four rotations, that give you experience within the specialty stream of your choice, plus exposure to another stream and also a customer-facing based initiative. With your background a number of our specialty streams would be suitable. I’d recommend looking into our Domestic Banking stream which incorporates Business Banking or Personal Banking. To tap into your IT background our Technology stream or Operations stream might suit you.

To find out more about the program streams it would be worthwhile visiting our website - http://www.nab.com.au/wps/wcm/c...nab/Careers/home/3/3/1/.

Also remember when you apply you have the opportunity to select your top 3 stream preferences.

Hope to receive your application.

Thanks,
Lauren

Hi Doug,

Great to hear you’re close to applying for the Program.

The Generalist stream is suitable for Graduates that are passionate about a career with NAB, however do not know exactly what area to specialise in. Through our Generalist stream you’ll have exposure to a variety of different areas, including key projects and both commercial and strategic based roles. We’ll work closely with our graduates to source suitable rotations based on your interests and degree background.

If you’re still unsure as to what stream to apply for and would like some assistance please contact our grad team directly on 03 8634 0006 or email graduate_careers@nab.com.au and we’d be happy to offer some further guidance.

All the best,
Lauren

hi lauren
do you do a midyear intake?

hi again lauren
i am very confident in my abilities and i have had 17 years experience in china, but i have one major concern. every program i have looked at demands "excellent communication skills". i believe i can satisfy every other criterion and even in this area i think i am adequate and improving. if it was a uni subject i think i would get a C or D. but not a HD. my gpa will exceed 6.5 this mid year finals. how do you think this will play in my application

This has been so useful.
The NAB profile NAB on unigrad is also very useful.
