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

Like most graduate scheme applications, you will need to emphasise the demonstration of the desired skills and competencies, tailoring all answers to these is a first start. I would consider this a bare minimum in the process. TfL want not just competent and qualified candidates but passionate individuals that have an intellectual curiosity who get excited about their profession. Furthermore TfL want to see individuals that are eager to take part in the challenge of keeping London moving for today and into the future. Exemplar candidates on paper with top academic credentials and experience/internships etc are not enough, you will need to demonstrate your appetite for the challenge. The application is the first step, during the assessment centre you will be examined to see if you mindset is aligned to the TfL philosophy.

Do you have any interview tips?

The assessment centre is held at the TfL offices in London and comprises of a presentation (topic given in advance), a group activity (observed by assessors), an interview and competency based test. The day is intense so I would recommend that you prepare as much as you can in advance. Along with researching the usual corporate info and stats make sure you bring further research into mental ‘toolbox’. Think ‘passion’ and ensure that you show intellectual curiosity to your profession and embrace the challenge of keeping London moving.
