What advice would you give to someone applying to this role?

Research is key. You need to know the company and you need to know the industry. What big announcements have the company recently released? What are the biggest challenges within the industry? All of these questions you'll be expected to have a good level of understanding on.

Overall, you need to show that you're actually interested in the specific role, and it's not just another graduate role that you happened to stumble upon. If you have a passion for food that's a great start though.

Do you have any interview tips?

The assessment day is very intense, but again preparation is key in terms of knowledge and physical rest for the big day.

The interview itself is more of a competency interview. The interviewers will link all the questions to Bakkavor's values and you'll be expected to talk about examples of how you show these values.

Make your examples varied. e.g previous work, school, university, hobbies, personal life etc.

Just remember even if you believe the interview didn't go well, it doesn't matter because there's so many other elements to the day including, English, Maths and Logic competencies tests, group discussions, and presentations.
