What advice would you give to someone applying to this role?

Get your mum to read it. If she bursts out laughing, don't include that bit. Or re-word it. I think we went through 7 drafts of my application in the end. Every change was only minor and we only spent an hour or two on it, but it was definitely important to keep reviewing it. Otherwise I have no idea. I applied on a spur-of-the-moment "I really need a job right now", so I can't really remember how it went.

Do you have any interview tips?

It sounds overstated, but relax and be yourself. We were told in our first day that we were picked because we were liked, and that comes from showing who you are. In my interview I mentioned that I liked empire-building computer games and linked that to why I decided to apply for the job. The fact that I play those games probably didn't help me in the slightest, but the fact that I was willing to show I have interests outside of work probably helped a lot. Don't necessarily try to take charge in the team projects in your application. Our team did fantastically well because we worked together to let everyone have their moment to speak and share ideas, allocating each of us 5 minutes to present each before having 5-10 minutes to discuss the answer to our problem after that. In contrast, the other team in my application group spent most of their time shouting over each other trying to be heard. Showing you can work well with everyone else but still being unafraid to make your points known is very important.
