31. This role requires collaboration with Standard Bank partners in different countries and continents. Do you have any international work experience?
How to Answer
As an organization that operates in more than 20 countries in Africa and abroad, Standard Bank looks for team members who thrive in a global environment. While you may have direct experience working in different countries (which you should certainly point to in your answer), it's OK, too, to point to times that you've worked on projects that have required international collaboration with clients or colleagues through something as simple as a video call.
Answer Example
"Working in an international environment that brings together diverse perspectives and backgrounds is of central importance to me in my career. Many projects in my previous role at (XYZ) company called for collaboration with stakeholders across Africa, Europe, and Asia, which we did through weekly video calls to discuss our progress and current roadblocks we faced in the projects. I look forward to the opportunity to work in the diverse, international environment that Standard Bank offers. Does this role require international collaboration or travel?"
