Best

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

If you have a friend to get referred through then definitely go that way or through a consultant. If not then apply direct but be prepared for a telephone interview quickly.

Do you have any interview tips?

Lots of stages so be prepared to commit to the process, the internal team are really informative and really quick moving, always be on top of your game and ready to answer any questions they throw at you. The assessment centre is quite fast paced and very reactive so just go with it and if something goes wrong don't let it affect the rest of the tasks. Director interviews always seem the most daunting but now I work for them it's silly to think why I was nervous, they are all sociable people so just be yourself and keep the conversation flowing.
