Graduate interview advice
Interviews can take many forms, but here are some tips for commonly used scenarios.
Sometimes, a group of graduate candidates whilst being observed by a team of assessors, will be asked to complete a task of some type. Your fellow team members (and competitors) will be very amenable and offer reasoned and friendly solutions. Inevitably there will be a loud individual, who may dominate. Don't be intimidated because they will dig a hole for themselves, in there attempt to be noticed and assert themselves as a team leader. Stay focussed on the task and try to involve quieter members of the team. Avoid competing with fellow students because some companies hire several candidates from a group, so you may end up being employed with others who you have upset! You will probably be given a topic for a presentation, usually with little notice. Practice giving presentations before hand with fellow graduates and friends. Try not to read from notes or speaking too quietly or quickly. Stand still and look frendly but focused. Presentation should be confident, clear and precise. Keep the content simple, making a few points well. Aptitude tests take many forms but will be around the job sector you are applying for. Exam conditions will be inforced, but don't worry if you do not finish, quality is better than quantity. There will probably be a social event, where you are not supposed to be being assesed... you will be. Do not be out spoken or contentious, keep personal views to your self and don't drink too much. Determination and belief in yourself is what employers are looking for. Be natural, you cannot sustain a fake facade for the whole day.
