The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Procter & Gamble
Interview
After uploading my cv and covering letter, I then had to complete an online psychometric test.
After a couple of weeks I received an email saying I had got through to the next stage. This is a video call and lasts about an hour.
I found out a week later I had gone through to the next stage, you are invited to their head office where I then had to do an hour long numerical and reasoning test.
They tell you straight away if you have passed the test or not, if you do pass you go through to the final interview stage which for me was about an hour long with 2 people.
Questions were "Give an example of a time when......" and you should answer in the structure of STAR.
Interview questions [3]
Question 1
Give an example of a time when you have had to deal with conflict.
I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Procter & Gamble (North York, ON) in Feb 2014
Interview
1. Applied online - sent 2 tests through email. One was a personality test, the other was a reasoning test where you had to identify sequences of shapes. There are many online tools to help you prepare for this.
2. On-site test with 3 parts: reasoning (similar to online), logic questions and simple math problem questions.
3. In-person interview with one (sometimes two) managers (5-8 yrs experience with P&G). All behavioural questions and you are measured against P&G's success drivers
4. In-person interview with two senior sales managers. Again, all behavioural questions similar to first in-person interview. At this point, they are looking for fit.
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Procter & Gamble (Newcastle upon Tyne, England) in Feb 2016
Interview
Online CV submission + 2 short online Tests
1 hour phone and video interview
On-site test which was harder than the first 2. Then in person interview after.
