Our Top Tips

Online test

  • Re-read the advert for the role you’ve applied for. Make sure you’re aware of what it’s about and what it involves.
  • Take your time. Read each activity carefully to ensure you understand the scenario.
  • Be honest. Go with your first response in order to show us your natural response to the scenario.

Video interview

  • Refresh your memory. Read what the role you’ve applied for is and remind yourself why you applied for it.
  • Look at our website. We’ll ask about your motivations for joining us, so remind yourself of our purpose and values.
  • Check your technology. Make sure your Wi-Fi is strong, your camera is working, and your microphone is connected.
  • Use the practice questions. Before you get into the real thing, we’ll give you a few questions to practice with – use these!

Assessment centre

  • Do your preparation. Make sure you understand who we are and what we’re all about.
  • Show us who you are. We’ll be looking at how you approach scenarios, how you deal with change, how you work as a team and more. Make sure you show us how you use these skills.
  • Use the time we have. In a short space of time, we want to learn what motivates you, what makes you enthusiastic and what inspires you.
