      Lead the Way Graduate Interview

      Apr 11, 2017
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      London, England
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Capita (London, England) in Apr 2017

      Interview

      Online application and telephone interview. I didn't get through to the final round, but I believe it's an assessment centre. I got a very quick response after my initial application and was invited to telephone interview in 2 days. All the interview slots are for one hour, but the actual interview took 20 minutes tops. Unfortunately I failed it, but here are the questions I was asked. I hope it helps someone else! Make sure you do lots of company research. As a side note - the company seems a bit disorganised. They mixed up my phone slot and didn't notify me until I enquired about it. They are also very slow to reply to emails (if they do at all).

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      What do you know about Capita? What sectors do we operate in? What financial data do you know about us? Where are our offices? Tell us how you demonstrated leadership. Tell us about a time you mentored someone. Tell us about a time you dealt with change. Are you willing to relocate?

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Capita in May 2016

      Interview

      Online application with a few motivational questions, then a telephone interview. Focused on leadership and change. I've found this website really useful in preparing for interviews so I'll give as much detail as possible to help others now! The interviewer mutes the mic during your answer so don't let the silence on the other end put you off. I didn't get prompted for more info so if you feel like you need to add more, just keep on speaking as the interviewer will not interrupt. I would say this needs more prep than your standard competency-based interview as it largely focuses on leadership whereas other CB interviews would only need one example. The questions also have more than one part so try and keep that in mind when giving your example - I forgot to answer the follow up questions like "what was your thought process" etc.
