If Standard Bank Group shortlists you for the Senior Manager, Management Reporting, Insights and Analytics (3 Months Contract) position, preparation makes the difference. Work through these steps:

• Research Standard Bank Group before the interview — look for their official website, social profiles and any recent news. Interviewers expect you to know why you want to work there specifically.
• Go through the job description above and prepare a specific example from your own experience for each of the main duties. Most interview questions will be drawn from what the advert emphasises.

• Plan your logistics early. Confirm whether the interview is in person in Johannesburg or online, and arrive or log in at least ten minutes early.
