What are the Best and Worst things about your job?

Best

Real responsibility; tasked with real projects and problems. Fantastic opportunity to network within the company. Size of the company is overwhelming at first but the more time you spend at the company the more you can embrace this and seek opportunity. Opportunity to complete CIMA studies alongside work through an apprenticeship route where there is an outstanding amount of support both from the business and BPP.

Worst

Individual placements can end up being quite focused on one area. For example, might not get the opportunity to do much finance in a particular year, or may not get to spent much working time away from your particular contract/site. This is combated with the opportunity to do 3 completely different placements.

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

Show an interest in both DHL Supply Chain and the Logistics industry. They are open-minded to the subject of the degree that you have, so don't be caught up on whether your degree is directly appropriate. Always show enthusiasm when answering questions as they look for keen individuals.

Do you have any interview tips?

Interview is in the form of an assessment center/experience day. Day made up of 2 group tasks, an individual presentation and a 1-2-1 interview. Group tasks are looking for active leadership, teamwork and communication, so be sure to always give your input into the scenario. Timekeeping is vital during these tasks. The presentation is highlighting your communication skills and the ability to stick to the task and deal with on-the-spot questions. They are not assessing the material of the presentation itself, so don't be caught up on this. The interview will require lots of examples from your past experiences (not just work - uni, school, part-time jobs, hobbies). Be confident and make the most of being able to talk to other candidates, current graduates and assessors.
