It's the obvious one but be yourself, they're looking to see if your personality fits with the scheme which is more important with this job than most others. It's best for everyone if you don't pretend to be someone you aren't.

Try to refer to specific projects you have taken part in at organisations and the skills employed whilst performing your role. Demonstrating a strong technical background would also be beneficial to most roles.

Application Advice:

Apply early!

Interview Advice:

It's quite long and intense.

Don't act differently to how you would do in a real situation, they want to see how you act and behave for a reason.

Application Advice:

If you're genuinely enthusiastic about the nuclear industry and the scheme
(e.g. multiple secondments and potentially moving around the country over the two years), make sure that comes across.
And if not, the scheme may not be for you.

Interview Advice:

The interview is a two day long assessment centre including multiple group tasks, interviews and role play.
Prepare for a technical presentation, technical interview, and behavioural interview.
Prior experience in the nuclear industry isn't necessary, but make sure you have done your research on the industry as a whole - you will be asked about what you know.

Application Advice:

Be enthusiastic about the nuclear industry and understand the history and future of the industry. You can apply to multiple jobs on the scheme but you will be invited for interview for one at a time.

Interview Advice:

The interviews are 2 days long and are exhausting! Get up to speed on the industry and how your subject relates to it. They're looking for good team workers, communicators etc but remember it's about the quality of what you say, not the quantity.

Application Advice:

Be honest and yourself
Research the industry

Interview Advice:

Be honest and yourself, don't be overbearing in group exercises, research the industry

nucleargraduate, nucleargraduates at Energus

Application Advice:

Look at the website and other documentation. Understand the specific skills they are looking for and how what you have done at university and otherwise meets these criteria.

Interview Advice:

The assessment centre is always going to be an unfamiliar scenario. Try as best you can to relax and behave as you would in any other working situation.

The assessors will be able to see your full potential if you are being honest, truthful and acting as you see fit and not how you expect to be acting.

Read up on the scheme, the companies who sponsor graduates and the industry as a whole. You don't need to be a nuclear boffin to get a job, but doing some research goes a long way in showing your interest in the sector.

Application Advice:

Often the roles here are for extroverted people and those with potential for leadership and good people skills. This is all on top of being the cream academically speaking.

Interview Advice:

Be yourself, it's better not to get on the scheme than to get on being somebody you are not.

Application Advice:

Be honest.

Interview Advice:

I was asked to give a presentation- Make sure to prepare well for this! Before doing the presentation make sure to gauge who your audience is. You may be explaining a very technical concept to someone who is in a commercial role who knows little on the subject.

Best:

The spectrum of opportunities that myself and other nucleargrads get to experience.

Worst:

Management from a remote location. The employer, Energus, are all based in West Cumbria and while day to day management can come from your secondment line manager in the various organisations, our overall manager does not get to see our progress, development and have oversight of issues as clearly. This can lead to discrepancies in work evaluations or decision making processes.

Best:

The company offer you a budget for CPD opportunities. Within reason it is left up to you how you wish to spend this budget and develop yourself.

Worst:

Processes and schemes implemented to drive improvements are becoming a box ticking exercise. For example appraisals which should be used to encourage improvement and recognise achievements are all about scoring in the moment - no forward planning and development plans come out of this process.
