Interview
Online Application, followed by numeracy and verbal psychometric tests and situational judgement questionnaire. I was then invited for a phone interview, which was a cold experience with an outsourced interviewer who kept cutting me off. I was then invited for an assessment day and final interview, which consisted of pre-work in the form of a personality questionnaire. At the assessment day, there were three activities, which tested everything from your leadership skills to commercial awareness. This was followed by a face to face interview. I waited two months to hear their response.
