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

Don't overthink it or try to game it by picking what you think they want to see, as the assessment is designed to spot inconsistency, so just answer honestly and let your natural character come through. That said, it's worth keeping in mind the kind of commercial, people-oriented environment you're applying to, so being self-aware about how you naturally approach teamwork, problem-solving and ambition will help ensure your personality profile reflects the best, most authentic version of yourself.

Do you have any interview tips?

My biggest piece of advice would be to let your personality come through, interviewers are looking for people they can imagine working with every day, so being genuine and personable will take you much further than rehearsed, textbook answers. Equally, make sure you've done your homework on VMO2 and the broader telecoms market, as showing that you understand the commercial landscape and can speak confidently about the industry demonstrates exactly the kind of curiosity and drive this programme is looking for.
