Interview Advice:
Be yourself and let your personality shine through, the interview process is pretty varied so be confident in your abilities (they won't be interviewing you if you haven't already impressed them) and just be open to the experience as the activites could throw anything at you! Be sure you know about the key competencies they're looking for with regard to your role and be sure you can talk about them from your experiences, either from previous jobs or your studies.

Application Advice:
Think carefully about what the question is asking and how you can relate this to the Virgin Media values. How can you show that you are ready to embrace the VM culture? Relate this to experiences and skills that you gathered throughout school/university.
Interview Advice:
The Virgin Media application process involves a video interview, telephone interview and assessment centre. All of these can be a much more enjoyable experience by simply doing some research around the company and what it is looking for in its graduates! Prepare for the more traditional questions and if there's a curveball - remember the VM values you are trying to portray. All the interviewers who I came across were very friendly and made me feel relaxed.

Application Advice:
The application was fairly standard, a bit of knowledge of the industry and Virgin Media's growth targets would be beneficial. I would also recommend doing some research on the parent company - Liberty Global.
Interview Advice:
I don't remember being asked any particularly strange questions when I was interviewed. Being a second-year graduate now though I have had the opportunity to take part in the interviewing of prospective graduates - I would immediately mark down someone that said they had done something but then couldn't back it up with evidence. The other thing I dislike in interviews is people giving answers they think I would like to hear rather than offering their actual thoughts. It's usually quite easy to tell whether someone believes in what they are saying or not.

Application Advice:
Don't be boring and by the book. Put in the odd joke if it comes naturally during interviews. My interview seemed like more of a conversation which put me at ease and helped me to better get my points across. It also meant I was able to learn a bit more about the company at this stage, so I could be confident I would enjoy working for Virgin Media.
Interview Advice:
I was asked what I knew about the company.
I was asked what I knew about finance and the role of a management accountant.
I was asked to tell them about a time when my opinion was changed by someone else.
At the assessment centre there were various group activities so be prepared to work in a team and don't be afraid to speak up. In my group the most vocal candidate did not get the job. I think this is because he came across as overly pushy and therefore did not portray himself well. So make sure you get the balance right...

In group exercises, don't be afraid to put your ideas forward, even if you're not 100% sure about them. Through making it to the assessment centre, you've proved you're good enough technically, so show assessors you're not afraid to step up.
Also, a number of existing graduates are there helping out the assessment, which makes for less intense interviews than that of some other companies.

Application Advice:
Be yourself and try to emphasis your current awareness or interest in the industry.
In my experience the two biggest things the company looks for at the application stage is what you do in your spare time, why you want to work in this industry and just about you in general. A significantly lower emphasis is made on what degree you did as a lot of graduates are from STEM subjects such as Physics, math and even one person did Biomedical science.
Interview Advice:
Just be as genuine as you can and at the interview stage your personality and how you think or what you already know plays a very key part. The company really admires honesty with an eagerness to learn.
Finally as with any company it would be worth being reasonably informed on what the company is planning to do or has already done so that you can potentially apply that to your answers. Please do not mention things you vaguely or do not honestly understand especially when it is technical or about the company as they will catch you out. Just be honest and you will be fine.

Interview Advice:

It's okay if you don't know a lot about what the role will entail/the details of the business, use this to your advantage that you want to develop your skills and learn about the industry.

Finance Graduate, Commercial at Virgin MediaRead the full review »
Application Advice:
When applying ensure you do significant background research on the role and what Virgin Media offer. Once past the initial application stage it is so important to show off your personality as well as your technical ability. Throughout the latter stages of the application stages I would argue that the personality of the applicant becomes more and more important. Don't worry if you don't have any particular experience in Telecoms or engineering, if you have a STEM background, the assessors will be confident that you will be able to pick up the skills required over the course of the grad scheme.
Interview Advice:
The interviews I went through in the application process for Virgin Media, particularly in the assessment centre stage, were far more relaxed than some other companies I applied to. My advice would be to try and mirror the relaxed atmosphere, be open and friendly to those around you especially in the group activities as it will demonstrate that you are a person who would be great to work with in a business environment. Also, do your research! Background knowledge of the company is vital for any interview at any company.

Operations Management Graduate, Internal Communications at Virgin MediaRead the full review »
Application Advice:
My advice to anyone applying to this role would be to keep an open mind. The graduate programme gives an excellent opportunity to experience a number of different roles within the company and get a broad experience across a number of departments. Do not become too focused on a specific role but look to gain as broad a knowledge as possible before narrowing in on your preferred area later on.
Interview Advice:
For the interview process the most important thing to remember is to be honest and open. People are the most important thing to Virgin Media and therefore it follows that the focus on interviews is how your personality comes through and not necessarily academic achievements. Be friendly and demonstrate that you are capable of working in a team environment and as an individual. The open days are set in a relaxed environment so try to just enjoy the day!

Best:
Being owned by Liberty Global means that there isn't a shortage of investment across the company. This means that there will be a variety of roles for me to choose from when I eventually come off the scheme. Also there is the opportunity to work in a non-financial role which would be good for me as eventually I may decide to work in such an area
Worst:
The company is very large. This means that sometimes it can be hard to find the person you have to contact. Sometimes that person may have recently left the company and then finding out who their replacement is can be a bit tricky.
