Our Hiring Process¶
We recognise that a finding a job and going through a new hiring process can be an overwhelming experience, but we don't want you to feel overwhelmed at Tenet Bank. We want all new introductions to Tenet to be a learning experience that provides complete transparency to information and resources.
Our hiring process is an important step in introducing Tenet to potential new team members. Every team at Tenet cares deeply about their teams, ambitions, and people who make them up. In order to optimise for the best team environment, productivity and collaboration we need to maximise distributed perspectives and experiences, and a transparent and fair hiring process is the first step in getting there.
Before Applying¶
Self Reflection
Sometimes you are looking for a new job because you are not enjoying your current role; other times, you just need a new challenge. In any event, it is always good to start exploring new opportunities with a little self reflection.
You spend a large portion of your life at "work" and we believe it is important that you are excited about doing that. As you take the steps to start looking for a new opportunity, we encourage you to take some time to reflect about the goals you would like to accomplish by joining a new organisation and team. Here are a few questions that might help get the process stated:
- What is the most rewarding work-related experience you have ever had? Why?
- Do you enjoy working as part of a team or working in solitude to just get things done?
- Do you enjoy solving problems? What is your process to identify, diagnose and solve problems?
- What was the best team you have ever worked with? What was it about that team that left a positive outlook?
- What is a problem that you solved that has made everything after easier?
As you consider the answers for these questions, find common themes within them that made you feel rewarded for being part of the experience. As you consider your next opportunity, use these themes to help define where you want to go next in your career.
Why do we promote self reflection? Our starting assumption with all new candidates is that you have the skills to be a successful employee, but we are looking to collaborate with people are who skillful, passionate, have distinct experiences and perspectives, understand themselves and the world around them.
Opportunity Gathering
After some self reflection and understanding about what you are looking for, it becomes easier to identify how new opportunities fit into the equation. It is important that you can identify how and why a new organisation can meet your expectations by being able to map who they are, what they do and what they are about to your personal experiences.
Our introductory goal is that you feel like you know us a little better, you have enough information to feel like you are applying for the right job and comfortable enough to have an inquisitive conversation with us.
Check out our website or our social media pages LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook.
Our hope is that we have provided enough background so that you have a sense of who we are and how our goals align with where you want to go. In the end, we are a small dedicated team looking to work with deeply knowledgeable and passionate individuals.
Introduce Yourself¶
Your Resume
Typically, when looking for new opportunities, it is tempting to look at the process as a numbers game and send a single, broad resume out to as many open opportunities as possible. We would like to suggest that, if you have gone through some self reflection and opportunity gathering, it might be more advantageous to create a strong tailored resume for each opportunity.
We would strongly argue that a well aligned resume stands out much more then a kitchen sink approach.
- Tailor your skills and experience to the open opportunity
- Be specific about projects that you have worked on
- How did you accomplish [X] as measured by [Y] and doing [Z]
- If you have limited work experience, include related projects that demonstrate your dedicated research and expertise outside the workplace
Keep it short. We do not have a length requirement, but concision and precision are key — so think twice before letting your resume move onto page two or three, and take careful focus with your information.
