It is imperative to prepare for an interview, using interview technique to answer questions more accurately and succintly.
But I would also recommend being yourself, showing the interviewer that you aren't a robot and have a personality. Because, at the end of the day the interviewer is looking to get to know you as a person and whether or not you will suit the company.
Here at Croudace, the interview was great to be on the end of. It was professional, friendly and helped me understand the company alot more.

Interview Advice:
The interview process has changed quite a bit since I did mine. But, from what I gather, it is now fairly laid back and they're just trying to get a better understanding of the kind of person you are. Compared to other Software Development interviews, I would say this would be considered to be less of a technical assessment.

Undergarduate Land Negotiator, Land at Croudace HomesRead the full review »
Application Advice:
I would encourage them to really do what you think and feel is right for them. Look at the benefits and risks and see which one outweighs the other for them. A placement is not for everyone, but if you're motivated you can do whatever you want. Put time and effort into your application; CV, company research, portfolio etc. all of that doesn't just come to you for free, you have to show you have what it takes. It is great to take inspiration from others and apply your own look and feel to things, don't be afraid to show your own work and make it look presentable.
Interview Advice:
Take digital and physical work, as a Graphic Designer over half of your work will be used on screen rather than having an actual physical copy. Using mock up websites are also great to show what your work can look like in; real life, application, poster, tv ad etc. Another great portfolio tip I learnt was to mount my printed work onto card to show a nice balance e.g. photo editing skills onto black or white mount-board to show nice depth and contrast in my work.

Software Developer, at Croudace HomesRead the full review »
Application Advice:
Learn a bit about re-measuring groundworks. Come across as honest and friendly and someone who is prepared to help others, and you should fit in.
Interview Advice:
Mine took about an hour, the interviewers were friendly and helped make the process stress free (so far as anyone can) I'd just try to relax into the interview and not get too worked up about it if possible. Be truthful about what you have done and know all about your course. I may be wrong but I feel the personality part is a big factor as the whole office is pretty smilar.
The usual advice I guess.
Assistant Quantity Surveyor, Build Department – North Thames at Croudace HomesRead the full review »
Application Advice:
Demonstrate that you are able to multi task. With 5/6 sites running at any time you have to be able to switch between them and keep up to date with sales at all sites. Linking to this is organisational skills.
Show organisational skills, and that you are personable. Working with a wide range of people means you will have to be able to communicate well.
This job requires a full driving license, so if you have one then state it.
Interview Advice:
Demonstrate you have done research into the company, maybe you have looked at some developments online or even visited one.
Tell the interviewer about a time you have managed a group of people well, whether it was in education or not, and explain how you did it.
Show you have strong interpersonal skills.

Graduate Designer, Technical Department at Croudace HomesRead the full review »
Application Advice:
Be willing to be flexible and enthusiastic to all tasks asked of you. There is a constant stream of work of all variations, which is expected to be carried out on time and to a good degree of accuracy. Questions amongst the department are encouraged in the learning process.
Once confidence and experience was gained, I was given my own small developments to masterplan, design and coordinate through the planning process, from pre app/outline, dealing with planners and the public to obtaining reserved matters/full detailed planning applications.
Although supervised by senior members of the Design Department, the responsibility of designing each house, complying with planning policies and liaising with planning officers and consulting with the public were all left in my hands.
Interview Advice:
Genuine interest in residential architecture, basic knowledge of construction methods, AutoCAD/Adobe/Sketchup etc. proficiency

Land Negotiator, Land Department at Croudace HomesRead the full review »
Application Advice:
Provide a covering letter along with your CV. This gives you an opportunity to portray your strengths, which isn't always possible to get across in a CV. A covering letter also lets you make it clear to Croudace which position within the company you are interested in.
Interview Advice:
Be prepared for the interview, research the company and think about any questions you have about the company and the role in advance of the interview.
HR Assistant, HR at Croudace HomesRead the full review »
Application Advice:
Research the company, know the product we produce and the quality we achieve. Understand the role you are applying for and what will be expected of you. Tailor your covering letter and CV to the company, no one wants to read something that has been sent to a 100 companies.
Spelling and grammar, your parents, tutors and friends are free proof readers!
Interview Advice:
Be confident and bring examples of your work.
Land Negotiator, Land at Croudace HomesRead the full review »
Application Advice:
The advice I would give is to read the job description carefully and make sure that you can relate your experience/skills to what is listed and use examples where necessary. This shows that you understand the job that you are applying for.
A big must is to research the company and what it does. Not only will this help you to decide that if it is the type of company that you would like to work for but also shows enthusiasm. You should also where applicable, relate your answers to the company to show that you have taken the time to research. If you get to the interview stage, I would also prepare some questions for the interviewer.
Interview Advice:
As above.

Best:

Worst:
As comprehendible, the role as an undergraduate is not the same as an ASM, but the starting salary and benefits are relatively lower.
Being an individual who had to factor in the cost of rent and also securing a property for relocating, moving costs, transport.
It'd be ideal to factor in the ASM benefit of petrol allowances to undergraduates who drive to work on a daily basis as the Salary p.m averages sub £1300.
