You need to understand what makes the UK energy industry unique from other industries and what sets E.ON apart from its competitors. Energy is a highly politicised issue so you need to see through the spin.

The assessment centre at E.ON was far friendlier and more relaxed than others I had attended. That said, the tasks are not meant to be easy. Don't assume that you are expected to come up with a perfect answer to a question - this may be impossible.

This stage is to make sure you have the right intellectual attributes and are able to articulate yourself well on paper and on the telephone.There are psychometric tests involved at this stage, which are part of most graduate schemes these days and should not deter you from applying.

During the assessment centre i would advise to show your personality more and show that you are someone that would fit into the E.ON culture. Try and engage the interviews and make them remember you as a person, not just what knowledge you have. Dress to impress and above all, try and have fun with it.

Look into the specific graduate scheme that you are applying for and think about what you will bring to it/what you will get out of it. Ensure that you have practised competency based interview questions and make use the STAR structure (situation, task, action, result) in your answers. Try to use a variety of examples. Think about what motivates you as well as your values and principles (do these align with E.ON's values and principles?). Make sure that you are prepared to assume responsibility at an early stage and come to the interview with a proactive mind-set as you will be expected to use your initiative on the graduate scheme.

Graduate Engineer, Generation at E.ONRead the full review »
Application Advice:
Know the company and the industry, show you are passionate and pragmatic and aware of the appropriate issues and approaches to attempt to tackle these. It was a pretty friendly application process so being personable and relaxed (as much as possible in the situation) helped, I think.
Interview Advice:
Sleep well the night before, it's a long day! The timed case study and presentation is particularly tough in terms of time given so just make a decision about what you will present early on and ignore the rest. There is too much to cover it all so just cover the requested number of points well.

New Technologies Consultant, Energy Conversion at E.ONRead the full review »
Application Advice:
Gaining experience on site is a key element to progressing in the power industry. The site work can often be dirty and tiring and so being willing and open to this kind of work is important. Working for E.ON Technologies is very technically focused and so being keen on developing yourself as a technical engineer is also key.
Interview Advice:
The role required a technical interview and an assessment centre. The technical interview focused on techincal questions from my 1st and 2nd year of my undergraduate degree (specifically bending moments, stress analysis and thermodynamics). I also had to give examples of project work.
The assessment centre was based around evaulating your communication, presentation and interpersonal skills, as well as testing your knowledge of the energy industry.
