What our previous graduates have to say about starting their careers at Third Horizon:

I began my career in Australia as a grad at Third Horizon. Starting a new job, in a new country, was daunting. Third Horizon has proved to be the right choice for three main reasons: people, work and career progression. I’ve met and worked with really talented and capable people from all three offices.

The access I’ve had to senior staff and directors stands out and willingness of people to mentor and support me. Most importantly, I’ve learnt ‘aussie’  slang! I’ve enhanced my skills, developed new capabilities and learnt where my interests and strengths lie through the projects I’ve worked on.

If you have the drive and motivation to take ownership of your work, face new challenges and deliver high quality results, Third Horizon recognises and rewards you with more responsibility and faster career progression.

Kicking off my career as a grad at Third Horizon was both exciting and intimidating. Exciting because I was kicking off my career with an eclectic bunch of highly motivated, intelligent and, most importantly, friendly individuals. Intimidating because I had no idea how I was going to catch up and reach the level of competency I had seen in the more experienced consultants. From day one,  I was challenged, given genuine responsibility for client work and held accountable for my outputs. There was always a host of different people to talk to when I needed help or guidance. As the months passed, without me realising, all the on the job training, formal lessons and personal feedback helped to turn me into a consultant just as competent as those I had seen before me.

While I had some corporate work experience prior to starting at Third Horizon, achieving a graduate position felt like I was in the starting blocks for my career. At Third Horizon you are guaranteed to be allocated work that you have not been exposed to before. Although this may be unsettling, embrace different challenges and know that these unfamiliar tasks are merely opportunities to learn – who knows when this knowledge may be leveraged throughout your career.

Initial Interview

The Initial interview will be with a Manager and one of this year’s Graduates.  The purpose of this discussion is for you to learn about Third Horizon – who we are, the types of projects that we do, our vision and what we can offer you.  It is also an opportunity for us to get to know you –  tell us about yourself, your aspirations and what you would like from a career at Third Horizon.

The second discussion takes the form of a case study where you are given a problem and asked to solve it.  Here we look for analytical capability, ability to structure an approach and responding succinctly.

Written Exercise

We then give you a written exercise which looks at your PowerPoint, Excel and letter writing ability. We don’t expect advanced skills but look for the basics covered.

Discussion with a Director

The final discussion is with one of our Directors, which will give you the opportunity to get another perspective from someone in our company and you can ask any unanswered questions.
