Application Advice:
They are not hiring you for your engineering skills specifically, that is expected from every candidate. Being a consultant, they want to see examples of your people skills, building connections in a working environment and the ability to navigate difficult projects.
Interview Advice:
Be prepared with answers to questions such as; give me an example of when you struggled in something you tried to achieve? How did you get around the problem? Tell me about a mistake you have made in a project, and how you amended for it? They want to see examples of when you have faced adversity (doesn't have to be university or engineering related) and found a way round it by yourself.

Interview Advice:
Put the effort in to research what the team you're applying for does (as a consultancy, Frazer-Nash publicises some of the work we do, so it's not too hard to find examples of the projects we conduct), and think how you might solve the same/similar problem.

Make it clear why you want the role and would be suited for it e.g. enjoy challenging work, non-routine work / variety, flexibility of approach and creativity when solving problems.
Cover letter really helps to stand out, cliche advice but it really does highlight unusual/interesting qualities that might be missed on the CV.

Good personal skills help you stand out!
Everyone who gets interviewed is likely to be technically competent at what they do, so the softer skills are what makes you stand out. Also our business thrives on the back of the relationships we build with our clients.

Spend time working on your cover letter more so than your CV. Understand that Frazer-Nash is a values based company and draw out how you reflect the values in your cover letter (values are available online).
Interview Advice:
As a consultancy, communication and presentation skills are key attributes that Frazer-Nash look for. Practice delivery of your presentation and maintain a confident, but not arrogant, demeanour. Come armed with questions about the work we do and how you see yourself fitting into it.

Application Advice:
Be yourself, answer honestly
Interview Advice:
There is a test which checks your technical skills like maths and ability to comprehend a technical problem, followed by an interview with a presentation and further technical questions and competency based questions.
The key is to be yourself and to put across that you truly enjoy what you do. Oh and of course be technically sound in the area that you are applying for.

Application Advice:
Get your application in early. If I remember correctly spaces are first come first serve.
All video interviews are watched by a human so don't stress about being marked by a computer. This meant that it took a while to hear back about the video interview but was good to know I wasn't being marked by an algorithm.
Interview Advice:
The final interview will be from 2 people: a group lead and then an engineering manager (group lead's boss). Engineering managers are high up in the company and show's how we care about the hiring process (even for graduates).
For the final interview I needed to present an engineering problem I had solved. Have a think about something you could give a 20 min presentation on and be able to answer tough questions about.
It's not always about having the right answers, it's about how you think.

Application Advice:
Look at the desired skills and don't think about the ones you haven't achieved yet as a setback, see them as personal development goals. Never any harm in putting in an application.
Interview Advice:
From the job description, think about the skills you are yet to achieve (emphasis on yet) and state how you think you would like to develop these. Look into the core values and behaviours of the company and state how these align with your own belief systems.

Application Advice:
Show us yourself outside of your academic or previous work achievements. We like to hear about your hobbies, interests and other stuff too!
Interview Advice:
The interview is really a good chat.
For answering more technical questions, talking through your approach is more valuable than the answer itself. If you can talk through and reason clearly why you have done something, whether you are right or not doesn't matter.

Application Advice:
Focus on the core values of the company, why you are passionate to work in a consultancy environment and what transferrable skills you have that will make you thrive.
Interview Advice:
Questions were more focused on how you would go about a certain situation and not "do you know the answer" type questions - so be prepared to think through an approach to a question and how you would get to an answer rather than panicking that you don't know the answer (you aren't supposed to).
Take the opportunity to interview your line manager about the role you will be doing.

Try and go to careers fairs before to heart about the different roles on offer/what is most likely to suit you. Be honest with where you're willing to live - don't force an application for a job you don't actually want.
Interview Advice:
Understand the role you're applying for and the key skills to highlight which make you suited to it. Don't under-value soft skills/non-technical extra-curricular.

Application Advice:
The personal statement is very important. Talking about what skills you have that could be applied to a consultancy environment. Technical staff also manage their own projects so skills in project management are key. Talk about what unique skills you have and why/how they could benefit the company, and link to the company values.
Interview Advice:
Relax! I actually enjoyed the interview, they really put me at ease. I had to do a presentation on a problem of my choice - I chose to present my Masters research. Remember to chose something that showcases what skills are required for the job. E.g. For a Data scientist, coding, data analysis, data visualistion etc. For the technical questions they are looking more for how you work through the question than if you get the right answer - so talk through your working and why you are doing it that way.

Training is good, I have completed a large range of training courses since I started. I feel that pay is reasonable for my experience level and new graduates have already received a pay rise.

Culture. People are all very friendly and willing to meet and help early careers new starters. The work life balance is good and there is a good culture of hybrid and flexible working. There is a buzz around the office though as plenty of people come in every day. There's also a strong early careers contingent, which made finding friends at work (and in a new city for me) super easy.
