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

- As is is a young persons role, if you have a drivers license make it known
- State what you want out of the company and why your applying (with research as to what we do)
- Skills can be learned but attitude cant, make sure you seem keen and technically aware without being cocky and arrogant.
- In an engineering industry we like facts, a CV with nice punchy statements about what you did/do is better than large text bodies. Only use text for areas that need explaining prior to meeting as you can use your CV as a talking point in interviews by elaborating on your punchy statements.

Do you have any interview tips?

- Use your CV as a canvas to paint a two-way conversation, if you get a question you don't know 100% about (which will happen), you can fall back on those short points "collaborated in student council to achieve ..." and elaborate on them and bounce a question back at the interviewer.

- Make sure you shake hands, speak with everyone involved and show you can spark conversation with other candidates in your interview. A simple "so what did you do in college" shows your outgoing wich is necessary for this role.
