Graduate Scheme Interview Questions

7,726 graduate scheme interview questions shared by candidates

Started with wanting to know how I have delivered projects, "tell me about a time you lead a project" "what did you do" "how did you do it" what could you have done better". Asked a lot of questions like what sort of goals did you implement for yourself, tell me about a time you had to deal with conflict, tell me about a time you had a difference of opinion with someone, what would you have done differently etc etc. I would recommended to anyone to go down the line of speaking about a project (or time in your life) with lots of problems as it is probably better for the later question when you have to critique yourself - I fell into the trap of saying how brilliant this particular project was and when they asked what I would have done differently I didn't have uch to say! They ended with the benefits of social media question which I have seen someone else also got which I felt was really quite pointless.

Do you prefer working as a team or independently? How would you approach presenting a new idea that needed funding from senior management? It needs presenting to peers and senior management. How do you feel about taking on extra responsibility?

Highly technical. Could be easily managed however, it seemed as thought the interviewer wanted me to know exactly what answers he was looking for with each question. The process in my opinion is highly subjective, do your best with the questions and hope for a positive feeback. Try your hands on questions involving M&A and Anti-trusts.
