One of the best things about my role as a Professional Trainee is the flexibility that you are given. Coming straight out of university, not everyone knows what they want to do - and that's okay! The PT scheme allows you to try out different roles within a department to work out what is best for you, what you are good at, and so on.
As mentioned previously, the support and guidance given by colleagues and managers to continuously develop myself has been extremely valuable and is something I would look for in a role/company.

It has been great to be involved in this piece of work and is something I'm really passionate about so I am hopeful that I will have chance to move into this area in the future.

Application Advice:
Ensure you have a few different aspects of life experience to highlight - for example, I had worked hospitality jobs throughout university and gained some management experience and I had played for the university football team and spent a season as vice captain. On top of that, they look for people with good academic records and if you didn't study actuarial science, it is probably a good idea to highlight any statistics or financial mathematics you have studied.
Interview Advice:
The interview questions are fairly standard - they did not try to catch me out or put me on the spot with any of them. Because of the work culture, they are really looking for people who are friendly and have good people skills, not just people who can answer the questions well.

Application Advice:
There are a huge number of applicants for roles at NFU Mutual so competition is fierce.
Make sure you are passionate about the company and the role you are applying for. It may be a cliché, but it’s a very common pitfall. Explain why the company excites you and why it will help you grow and develop.
Know your stuff - about the role and the company. Applicants who have actually done their research on the role and company they are applying for impress recruiters. It shows they are keen and have the right attitude for the workplace. Take a look at their website, see what they've been doing over the past few years and what they plan to do in the future. Not only this, but research the industry the company operates in. What are the trends that may affect them in the next few years?
Be you! It may sound really simple, but just be yourself. You will get the most out of the experience by being you. Be honest about who you are and your experiences and be open to new opportunities.
Interview Advice:
Make sure you research the employer again. Remind yourself of what you learnt when you made the original job application and build upon it. Have things changed since then? See what things the company are involved in and think about how you could contribute to this.
Think about yourself and your unique skills. The interviews at NFU Mutual are based upon the Personal Star (Google this!), a competency-based framework allowing you to demonstrate past experience that aligns with our principles.
Make sure you have questions prepared for the interviewer. Everyone thinks that the interview is a test to make sure the candidate is the right fit for the company. Although this is true, it is also a test that the company is the right place for you. Don't be afraid to ask questions, but make sure you have done your research beforehand (if you could find the answer to your question on the Internet, you are demonstrating that you haven't prepared).

Application Advice:
Demonstrate how your sales skills and potential farming background can be seen as an asset on your CV and throughout the application process. It is good to have experience in different industries to provide fresh perspectives to potentially incorporate positive change within the business.
Interview Advice:
Show off leadership and teamwork skills and a sociable, natural personality because this will enable effective networking within the company. Show an opportunistic mindset that is relatable, friendly and approachable to change.
Always refer to previous experience and link that back to how it relates to the job role. The specification revolves around the personal star and so each example should follow this structure. It is important to sell yourself but to do it in a way that demonstrates professionalism, integrity and humility. Confidence should be shown naturally and this will encourage a balanced, enthusiastic approach.
Sales and Agency Professional Trainee, Sales and Agency at NFU MutualRead the full review »
Application Advice:
Persevere! Having graduated 8 years ago, I have had a couple of other roles since university and the recruitment process for NFU Mutual was without a doubt the lengthiest and most rigorous I have faced to so far. (I think it took around 8 months from my initial application to an actual job offer!). There were several points along the way that I thought that they must no longer be interested, but it's was purely that the process is slow and communication a little sporadic which I think is a reflection of the high volume of applications. This has only been my experience of the recruitment process though; since being offered the job communication has been fantastic every step of the way.
Interview Advice:
Easy to say but be yourself. The environment at NFU is professional but relaxed and they value individual differences much more than other companies I've worked for. I got the impression at the assessment day that they were really looking for people who had integrity so don't try to pretend to be something you're not! I had two interviews with the company and in the first one I spent so much time worrying about what I thought they'd want to hear, rather than what I actually had to say, that I made a bit of a mess of it! Second time round I worried a lot less about the answer they were looking for and found my answers were a lot more natural and sincere so they got to see the real me, rather than the rehearsed answers I'd given before.

Get to grips with the company ethos and strategic goals. Show appreciation for what we offer to customers in order to differentiate ourselves from the rest of the pack. Demonstrate your innovation and leadership with working examples.
Interview Advice:
Whilst it's fairly formal affair in regards to the situation, the team makes a super effort to be friendly and aid you to be at ease. It's as much about ensuring you're right for us as you ensuring we're right for you.
Be engaging with the assessors and build rapport; ask questions about the culture and feel of the company and really build an understanding of the organisation.
Use the assessment opportunities to demonstrate your skill set: be professional, dynamic, innovative and passionate with your presentations and ideas. Think outside the box in the group activities and demonstrate democratic leadership whilst engaging as a team player.
Above all, relax and embrace the experience. Those who are successful tend to be quietly confident, friendly individuals who visibly (and honestly) embody the brand ethics and ideologies.

Application Advice:
Make sure you're fully aware of the ethos and values of the company before applying. Make yourself familiar with the personal stars and corporate strategic objectives. These play a vital role in the company culture; and NFU Mutual only wants individuals aligned with their values.
Interview Advice:
The graduate application process initially begins with a CV application.
This is followed by a video interview (pre-recorded with plenty of opportunity for re-records) and then followed by a really informative assessment centre which is as much about discovering if we're right for you as you being right for us.
The assessment centre normally consists of a group activity, a presentation, a conversation role-play scenario and plenty of time to talk to existing staff and PT's.
Take the chance to speak to the assessors around the room and understand the company culture and the value the PT scheme can offer to the business. It's a great way to begin networking, and discover more about the company and industry.
Once you've passed the centre you'll be invited to interview. If you're not quite a right fit; don't panic! NFU Mutual are great at spotting potential and talent, and may find another role that's fitting for you elsewhere.
Throughout the process, it's paramount to be yourself and embrace the opportunity. Be inquisitive, link with people on LinkedIn, research the industry and the company and most importantly make sure you feel the company is a right fit for you!

Be confident and most importantly: yourself. Finally, show you can think outside the box, but also apply logic and common sense in the team-based activities!

Interview Advice:
Your interview will be competency based. This is a great interview style to ensure fairness for all candidates but a lot of people can find this type of interview quite difficult. However, research the interview type beforehand if you've never done one before. Get asked a tricky question? Simply be prepared to stop and think out your answer in the interview itself. You're being judged on the quality of your answer, not on the speed with which you give it.

It is a great scheme to get yourself on, especially if you are the kind of person that is motivated to make a difference.

This means it is easy to find things where you can make a difference but it isn't easy to actually make your impact so you will have to work hard.
Interview Advice:
The recruitment process is robust but not too intimidating. Culture is very important in this organisation and although it is looking for motivated indiviuals who can change some of the ways of working it needs people who understand the company's values and principles of doing right by the customer and always acting ethically. We take our three strategic objectives seriously "Great company to do business with", "Sustainable profitable growth" and "Great place to work"

No 'rank' or seniority mentality - senior managers very happy to sit with and engage openly with the most junior member of staff. Everyone is treated with value.

Company this size always makes you feel like you are able to reach out to different stakeholders across the business and the company culture means that individuals are always happy to coach/give out advice regarding their experiences.
Worst:
The company is often slow to change processes due to the complex nature of relationship between head office and agencies. At times, this means the company struggles to adapt and adopt more efficient ways of working. This can be demotivating.

. The company makes a conscious effort to put it's customers first, by providing comprehensive products that ensure customers are fully covered.

. They have a strong desire to grow their talent, and provide as much support for their employees in trainee roles.
Worst:
Communication can take a while to get to the decision makers when needing to get a decision made. This is due to the risk adverse nature of the business, which is understandable, but can make action be slowed down.

The best thing about the company are the low-pressure, culture focused environment. The people you work with regularly will be warm and welcoming and willing to help out.
Worst:
The salary is low for the market, internal progression and graduate scheme structure itself are bad. The scheme is fundamentally flawed in its progression and reward system and appears as if those in charge of it do not fully understand how the employees on the scheme progress to becoming chartered accountants, and as such the rewards are mismatched (in a negative way) to the amount of study, time and effort required to achieve chartership.
