Application Advice:
Practise for verbal and numeral tests prior. The rest of the application just be sure to add things about yourself that would be a good and relevant talking point for future interviews.
Interview Advice:
Basic maths and English skills required so not too much focused needed on extensive revision on this. Much more relaxed than other interviews I have been to.

Application Advice:
Anglian Water is a company that encourages its employees to experience different areas of the business. Don't be put off from applying even if the job description isn't exactly what you are looking for - you never know where the opportunity might lead you!
Interview Advice:
Be yourself. The interview process is not designed to catch you out, just to get to know the real you and if you are the sort of person that will fit our culture and align with our values. The assessment centre I attended was really relaxed. We arrived the night before so that we could all have dinner and few drinks together to get to know the other applicants (and assessors) in a more relaxed environment. The actual assessment day contained a number of activities including standard style interviews, group tasks and a presentation.

Recruitment Advisor, HR at Anglian WaterRead the full review »
Application Advice:
Tailor your CV to when you’ve shown leadership/management skills because it is a management scheme.
Practice psychometric tests so you can get into the swing of them as they’re timed. You can do free ones online.
For telephone interviews, make sure you’ve got loads of examples of times when you’ve done things – eg. working in a team, leading a team, come up against conflict and how you dealt with it etc. I used to create mindmaps and blu tac them to my wall so I could quickly find examples in telephone interviews – good in case your mind goes blank.
If I could give any advice just be yourself at telephone interview and assessment centre. Also – do your research and find out what’s going on in the business as a whole as well as the specific role you are applying for. And ask your recruiters questions at the end of the interviews to find out more about the role and business.

Application Advice:
Assessment centre is really enjoyable compared to others I went to and designed to see you at your best.
The company seems to be looking for your potential as a manager and ability to work well with people rather than knowledge of the business.
Interview Advice:
Application consists of online submission of CV etc. and questions.
This is followed by online tests, in my case logic and numerical.
Telephone interview followed, looking at your experiences.
Assessment centre was an overnight experience. Online questionnaire must be completed before, which you are then interviewed on. Also 15 minute presentation and group exercise.

You don't need to be an expert in the field. They are more looking for a candidate with the enthusiasm and drive and a person who can fit in well within the business. Try and relax, they want to get to know you, not listen to rehearsed answers to questions you think they'll ask.

Be enthusiastic, flexible and ready to learn. Research the company values and the water industry.
Interview Advice:
At the assessment day a lot of emphasis is put on your personality and team working skills rather than technical abilities.
Try to have an awareness of your strengths and weaknesses as a person (with examples) and show how you've worked to improve.
Graduate Management Trainee, at Anglian WaterRead the full review »
Application Advice:
Try not to be intimidated by the application process.
Be honest about why you want to work for Anglian Water in your initial application.
The telephone interview is quite difficult because you can't see how the interviewee is reacting to what you're saying, but try to not get flustered by any of the questions. No one is trying to catch you out, they just want to know a little more about you.
Don't try to predict the outcome of any of the stages in the application, as it's impossible to know and will only cause unnecessary worry. (I thought I failed the non-verbal reasoning test!)
Interview Advice:
The only face-to-face interviews you have are on the assessment day. This is good because the meet up and meal on the evening before really helps you to relax and feel comfortable with the people who will be interviewing you. The interviewers / assessors may act quite differently in the assessments than they did at the meal, but this is only because they have a job to do. Don't let it throw you!
Be completely honest on the OPQ and use it as an opportunity to self-evaluate your own strengths and weaknesses.
Prepare for the assessment day (e.g. learn a bit about the business and think about why you really want the job), but don't try to over-prepare. The tasks really require you to be flexible, not scripted. It's very cliche, but try to be yourself!
There will be graduates from the previous intake at the assessment centre. Ask them questions (although they won't be able to give specifics about the tasks/interviews).
Most importantly, the assessment day allows you the opportunity to learn more about Anglian Water, the people who work there and the company culture. I came away from it knowing that I really, really wanted the job. So just enjoy it!
Generalist Graduate Management Trainee, Rotational at Anglian WaterRead the full review »

Try and share your enthusiasm, although this is sometimes hard to get over on a written application. It is also important to show you have people skills, as well as knowledge.

Ask all the questions you are thinking as someone else in the room probably wants to know the answer too and there is no such thing as a silly question.

I believe Anglian Water look for candidates with personality who are eager to learn. I would advise showing your personality throughout the application process and reseaching to understand the company values.
Interview Advice:
Again show your personality throughout the interview, asking questions to further your understanding of the role and business. Don't be defeated if an activity in the applicant day doesn't go how you would like it to as you are likely to make up for it in other activities.

Graduate Management Trainee, Regulation at Anglian WaterRead the full review »
Application Advice:
Do your research on the industry and figure out why you want to work for a water company. Have a look at what other water companies are doing and think about why you want to work for Anglian Water in particular. Be honest in your application! If you mention an experience you've had, expect to expand upon this in detail at later stages in the process.
Interview Advice:
Try and relax. This can seem really hard to do, but more than anything if you have made it to this stage, the interviewers are looking for someone they can see fitting in with the company culture. When answering questions, talk about a related experience you might have had and tell the interviewer what the outcome was. The STAR technique is really useful - Situation, Task, Action, Result.
Operations Management Graduate, Water Supply at Anglian WaterRead the full review »
Application Advice:
Use your university's careers service as much as possible - get your CV up to date and eye catching to employers.
Practice online verbal and numerical reasoning tests - helps when you come to do them for real during the application process as some can catch you off guard.
Create mind maps with examples of different situations you have had to deal with from past experience - blue tac them on to your bedroom wall - really helps during telephone interviews to quickly access "times you've done x"
Interview Advice:
Thoroughly research Anglian Water - more generally who they are, what they do, what are their key motivators and more specifically to the position you are applying for.
Know as much as possible about the company but also make sure to have examples of past scenarios which you can draw on when questioned.
Be yourself!

Best:
Commitment to it's employees; The CEO has created a working environment that allows employees to be more flexible with how they work, i.e. working from home, working 8-4 instead of 9-5, providing a friendly and helpful atmosphere to new employees, mental health and wellbeing programmes, employee benefits, healthcare scheme and virtual doctor scheme,
Worst:
Some processes are done in an illogical and sometimes ineffective manner, because they have always been done that way. While and effort is being made to re-evaluate these, it takes considerable time and effort to change the culture of people who have been working this way at this company for 15+ years, as such trying to do things in a new way can come with considerable resistance.
