Application Advice:

This role is for people who like working with other people, interpersonal skills and the will to interact with others are key.

Flexibility and the ability to adapt to different working environments and styles of working is also very important and something that you need to be able to show.

Be sure to look smart and use the preparation time well if you get a skype automated interview; make notes and act as if you were talking to a real person... smile!

Interview Advice:

Interviews are not based on specific technical skills, the questions they will ask are all behavioural and it is important that even if an answer is not perfect, you tell the truth.
If they ask about a time you made a mistake show that you understand where you went wrong and how you would fix it or do it again better if you had the chance.
Relax, interviewers will do everything to make you feel at ease and the interview will feel like an informal chat if you are genuine.
Remember to look professional though!

Application Advice:

Think carefully about your answers to the questions, be honest about your strengths and weaknesses.

Makes sure to check your grammar and punctuation, attention to detail is key in a communications role.

Try and get your personality into all stages of the application including the CV, questions, video interview and phone call. They will buy into your personality more than your grades.

Interview Advice:

In the group exercise don't be overly pushy or bullish. Think carefully about the task and don't feel that you can't compromise. If you know your option isn't the strongest then say so. They're trying to assess how analytical you are, not how stubborn you are.

Make sure to be respectful to the other assessment centre candidates, at the end of the day you're all in the same boat so try and make other people feel at ease. It says a lot about your character if you're friendly and willing to put yourself out in a difficult time.

Research the company and have specific examples. If you want someone to commit to you, you have to show them that you'll be committed to them. You're going to spend at least two years in this company, make sure you actually like it.

Interview questions:

Why do you want to work at Lendlease?

Assistant Construction Manager, Lendlease Construction Europe at Lendlease
Read the full review »


Application Advice:

Don't lie. Coming from a Business Studies degree background, I was the only non-cognate applicant in my assessment centre (with seven other people). Throughout the application/assessment centre process, rather than making up experience to put me on a level playing field, I sold myself on being able to offer different insights and perspective, which certainly played a key role in securing my job offer.

Interview Advice:

Ask relevant/challenging questions. It's easy to ask questions like 'What's the company culture like?' and 'What are the typical working hours?', but these are generic questions that apply to all companies. Instead, do your research and ask questions that apply to the business. For example, if you're applying for a job at a small, local SME, don't ask about international opportunities.

Also, ask questions that challenge the business and show that you're making a conscious decision. For example, ask about the company's weaknesses and what the business is doing to rectify them.

Assistant Project Manager, Consulting at Lendlease
Read the full review »


Application Advice:

Be honest about who you are. Demonstrate what makes you different, but understand that those responsible for hiring you are looking for that vote of confidence that you've worked hard in the past, you're keen to learn and you'll fully embrace the company's culture.

Interview Advice:

They asked us to work as a team and brainstorm ways in which we see Lendlease being affected by technology such as driverless vehicles, and what Lendlease should/could do to react.

I advise you don't nominate yourself as time-keeper, it's important that you verbally note how much time the team has, how long you'll spend on each part, but you're role in the assessment centre isn't to look at a clock.

Also before your team hastily moves on to another part of the task, if no-one has taken the opportunity to, encourage your team to pause and check that everyone has said what they wanted to say. It shows confidence and the ability to bring others into the conversation.

In the interview part of the hiring process, just be calm, shake everyone's hands and be honest. Don't force an answer you don't believe in, take the time to think and reflect. Generally though, show interest in understanding more about the company than your role necessarily needs. I applied for a marketing role and asked questions about the leasing team, the finance team and the construction team.

You can work from home if you need or wish too. There are lots of interesting and fun external work events to attend. There are clubs you can join like the Guvnors club or horizon. Both of these clubs put on lots of events outside of work to attend.

Worst:

You work for an amazing company that has built amazing things but there is no brand recognition what so ever with Lendlease. When you mention Lendlease to anybody, no one has ever heard of them.

The range of different things that Lendlease does as a company is very hard to understand and isn't always explained in the best way to understand what Lendlease does from start to finish.

You only get one study day per exam you take for ACA. You are not given any more time off to prepare and study for your exams.

Best:

One of the best things at Lendlease is the importance they put on health and wellbeing. It is evident that the company the company cares about it's employees and makes it a priority. An example of this is we are required to take a full day mental health course/induction which I think is very impostant for a company.

Worst:

Although a great company, due to the nature of being a large property company in London the company receives bad press at times on some of our projects. Some projects are considered contraversal and are very unpopular in some communities in London and being an employee and embassader you are then associated with this.
