Industry: IT Development & Consulting

Application Advice: As with any application, tailor it to Capacitas. Make sure you have some idea of what the job is and what skills you need/will need to build. Since we're a cloud consultancy at heart, you need to have an understanding of what the Cloud is, and how it is used in the business world. If you aren't sure - just do a little google research. If the research you're doing doesn't appeal to you, then applying for Capacitas might not be right for you. On the topic of skills - make sure you evidence statements where you mention having them! For example, if you're applying for a service delivery role (consultant/analyst), then you need to be a good problem solver individually, but also in a team, so make sure that comes across in your application - don't just talk about individual projects, talk about team working! Even working as part of a team in a part-time job is extremely valuable. The second important thing is to review your technical skills, and consider whether you can upskill for the role. For example, as with most office jobs, we use a lot of Excel at Capacitas. Being better than the average person who applies with set you apart!

Interview Advice: Be yourself, be confident but not cocky, and don't give up even with tough questions. The interviewers are nice people, and they want you to succeed - they wouldn't be interviewing you if they didn't!

If you don't understand something; clarify, so that you can make sure the answer you give is appropriate for the question you're being asked.

Interview Advice: There is usually an online coding test for the software engineering role so it's good to practice those a bit.

Industry: IT Development & Consulting

Application Advice: I would have a decent base understanding of coding, as although you don't need to be an expert there is a certain level of foundational understanding required.

Interview Advice: Be yourself, the interviews consisted of two technical and one non technical interview. One of the technical interviews is something you have time to prepare before the interview, and the other is a sit down coding test but you have quite a bit of time to do it. These interviews are mostly just to observe how you approach solving a problem rather than getting the perfect solution.

Interview Advice: Make sure you understand fundamental software engineering concepts. Don't just learn how to do something in one language to pass the entry tests, make sure you can explain why you did what you did. Learn SOLID principles, agile methodologies and good coding practices such as TDD. Learn why you should test, learn what is the difference between unit tests, component tests and integration tests.

Industry: IT Development & Consulting

Application Advice: Practice coding tests before applying!

Interview Advice: Be yourself, think aloud and take your time, solving all problems with logic.

Industry: IT Development & Consulting

Application Advice: I thought I made a mess of the technical test and was surprised to get a callback. After I joined the company, someone told me that the technical test is about seeing how candidates think - it's not really a pass/fail thing, more like a useful bit of data which they consider alongside the interview.

Interview Advice: Make sure to be really clear about why you want to join the Academy, and why you're interested in a career in tech. It seemed like the interviewers were looking for passion and curiosity rather than advanced coding skills.

Industry: IT Development & Consulting

Application Advice: Having personal projects helped me to prepare for my presentation and talk about things that I have learned and challenges that I have faced and how I overcame them.

Interview Advice: They are all very friendly from my experience and just relax. Try to get a braoder perspective of the knowledge and skill that you need for your particular role. I was asked some questions on security and GDPR.

Industry: IT Development & Consulting

Application Advice: Spend some time reviewing your academic and career path until now. Have a clear idea of what you want to do, bearing in mind there are lots of ways to support you on that.

Interview Advice: Challenge yourself with some online coding puzzles. Focus on your reasoning and decisions, instead of the outputs. Practice with a relative or friend. You can also record yourself solving a coding challenge -- being verbal and explaining to the camera why you're doing 'this or that' is something you'll find hard but will be rewarding once you're in a different setting. Spend some time thinking about what you value in a company's culture.

Industry: IT Development & Consulting

Interview Advice: The technical interview is designed to see how you approach a problem rather than whether you are an expert coder, so don't stress about your programming experience. Make sure you can talk through what you are thinking, and don't be afraid to say you aren't sure!

Industry: IT Development & Consulting

Application Advice: Keep your CV clear and succint and should focus on skills that are relevant to the role you are applying for.

Interview Advice: This is not essential but I found that being able to show that you have an agile mindset is really beneficial.

Industry: IT Development & Consulting

Application Advice: Make sure you link your skills to consultancy and give examples. Also, make sure you talk about your knowledge/experience of the more technical IT aspects (i.e. the industry and key parts of that). Since working here, I have helped out with recruitment and triaging the CVs, so I know that as long as you communicate well and cater your application to the company and job role, you have a good chance, regardless of what you've studied.

Interview Advice: Don't give up even when the questions are hard - remember that they are trying to see HOW your answer, not necessarily WHAT you answer. You will be asked questions about what the company does and slightly more technical questions about what that means, so be sure to do additional research on that!

Industry: IT Development & Consulting

Interview Advice: Demonstrate your passion for the field.

Industry: IT Development & Consulting

Application Advice: Be honest about why you want to be on there, there's a lot of discussion about how software developers can be trained after joining a company but good people are harder to come by beforehand.

Interview Advice: I was given several coding problems to solve on my own followed by a pair programming exercise where they wanted to assess how I'd make changes suggested by another employee. If you're going to apply, make sure you're comfortable with coding and attempting to solve coding challenges, even if you don't do well on them they still consider taking your application further.

Industry: IT Development & Consulting

Interview Advice: Don't worry too much about the typical 'algorithmic' questions, a overall understanding of concepts is more important.

Industry: IT Development & Consulting

Application Advice: My experience of the application process was via a cv sent to graduate recruitment by a friend who already worked for the company. My cv was a skills-based cv with some explicit details about past employment. There was a following phone interview (mostly just a chat with graduate recruitment) then an online technical exam (timed coding exercise). I wasn't familiar with the languages offered in the coding exercise, but really it's principles being assessed. Don't feel disheartened if your code fails to "pass" an online assessment.

Interview Advice: I did an assessment day which included technical exam, group task, interview and pair programming exercise. - In the group task, read all the info and don't try to present something the 'customer' didn't ask for. Be confident in your presenting at the end and be prepared to answer questions about your decision making. - The technical exam was in your language of choice (from a specified list), and I wasn't particularly familiar with the language at all. In this case it was really important to try and answer as many questions as possible. - The interview included going through some of the errors/misunderstandings of the technical exam, which was great because it offered a chance to ask questions and also to prove the ability to learn quickly. I was also asked some general questions relating to info on my cv. Others were asked to explain solutions to problems on a whiteboard, but I dodged that by talking about the exam for quite a while. (Maybe less likely if you were already proficient in the language of the exam) - The pair programming was an exercise about building a specific tax calculator. Again the language wasn't one I was proficient in, but the supporting dev was very relaxed about it and encouraged Google as a problem solving aid Very importantly, I was never made to feel lacking by any of the interviewers/assessors because of my lack of programming skill.

Industry: IT Development & Consulting

Application Advice: Make sure that you read up on the company and understand the nature of how a consultancy operates compared to a more traditional software development company to ensure it is right for you. Understanding the application and proving to yourself that you fit the requirements will definitely save you any stress later during the interview process.

Interview Advice: Brush up as much as you can on your coding for the technical aspects of the interview process. Overall, be honest and treat the interviewers as friendly people who want to see you succeed. They are people just like you and I who want to see that you are not only proficient technically, but would also be a joy to work with. They want to see you succeed so being respectful and putting in the required preparation is key to this.

Industry: IT Development & Consulting

Application Advice: Find a balance between presenting your technical skills, your soft skills and your journey. You may feel that you are just one among hundreds of students that just graduated, but your perspective it is unique.

Interview Advice: Honestly just be yourself. They really want to see if you would fit in with the company and if you have the potential to be a software tester. Be excited to learn and develop yourself. Research about what the company offers, their clients, basic terminology. Work with others on the assessment day as teamwork is a big part of the role.

Industry: IT Development & Consulting

Application Advice: Keep your application concise and clear. Make sure to put your best achievements & skills and don't write too much, that way you can always say more about these during your interview. Make sure to apply to places where you feel like you can fit in the most, sometimes you get a feel for the job/role/company when you get an interview.

Interview Advice: Make sure to ask the employer questions during the interview too, ask about their experiences at the company to make sure that you get a feel of what it's like to work there.

Mention what you enjoy, what you do outside of work, and what motivates you. Showcase how you are different. - Be passionate and flexible during the interview. Show off everything you know about the company, the role and the type of work you could be doing. A smile goes a long way. With passion and flexibility, you will always be someone who people want to work.

Industry: IT Development & Consulting

Interview Advice: They are looking at the personality aspects as well. All the people conducting the interviews are really nice, so try not to worry too much about it. I was asked if I had any previous tech experience, about what I had done to pass the time during lockdown, and then given a situational question at the end.

Industry: IT Development & Consulting

Industry: IT Development & Consulting

Application Advice: Look into the company and pick out specific things they've done or offer (like having a charity of the year they raise money for) to mention in your cover letter as part of the reason you want to work here. This shows that you've done your research and really want to work for them and goes a long way. Also, for the video interview, try and be yourself and show your personality because unlike lots of other companies, actual people watch each of the video interviews and showing your personality will go a long way even if some of your answers aren't the best.

Interview Advice: Just be yourself. I know that sounds like cliché advice, but Ten10 really value the soft skills a person has and their ability to interact with others, as you'll be going into a consulting role joining teams of people you don't know. Let your personality shine through, don't be scared to ask questions. There were 2 interviews, 1 was more of a personality interview with other applicants. It was just a case of ice breakers to see how you interacted with other people, just try to be friendly and chatty. The second was a more technical interview, asking about some skills and things from your CV, as well as what interests you about technology, something you really learned about technology, why you want to work for Ten10, etc. There was also a situational question about if you were on a project and didn't have enough time to finish it, what could you do? So things like, offer to work overtime, ask people on the team to share the workload, request pushing back the deadline or suggesting a sequential release of smaller parts of the project, try to automate tedious manual steps to save time, etc.

Do some research into what Autodesk does and decide if and why the company appeals to you.

Interview Advice: If you have some analytical skills and a good grasp of geometric space, the technical questions should not present any challenges. The purpose of the interview is to find out how you think to see if you would be a good fit for the work. Also, the interviewers are very experienced and make every effort to make you comfortable so you can just have a chat about your interests and hobbies.

Industry: IT Development & Consulting

Application Advice: Just be yourself. Ten10 are consultants, so they are after people who fit their company culture. They don't just want IT experts, they want people who want to learn and develop. In fact, a high proportion (if not most) of the academy trainees do not come from a science background.

Interview Advice: The interview is friendly and informal, so just be yourself and they'll see if you fit in with the company. There are no trick questions, but there is one semi-difficult roleplay question where you pretend to be a consultant who needs to discuss with a client about a project which has fallen behind. All your solutions will be rejected, but they are testing your resilience and creativity and how you handle difficulty in an inflexible environment.

Industry: IT Development & Consulting

Application Advice: While showcasing some technical know-how is definitely helpful, they are more interested in the personalities of their applicants, as they are looking for people that others would enjoy working alongside.

Interview Advice: Research the company/clients, show enthusiasm and be friendly and approachable with everyone at the assessment day.

Industry: IT Development & Consulting

Application Advice: Do not be disheartened if you don't feel suited to the job, Ten10 will find ways to develop you.

Interview Advice: Confidence, be talkative and approachable, whilst also listening and reacting to those around you. Consulting is largely about these soft skills, supplemented with technical knowledge, but the base as an applicant is to show you have the soft skills required. The technical know-how can be developed over time.

Industry: IT Development & Consulting

Application Advice: Be honest, as Ten10 see skills and potential in you that you might not think apply to the job, so do not feel you have nothing to offer as everyone has something. You do not need to have prior experience just a willingness to learn.

Interview Advice: You must be engaged, it's not about being loud, but try to have your little moment where you answer the question. Also, come prepared and dress smartly as this is what you should do at every interview.

Industry: IT Development & Consulting

Application Advice: Be yourself

Industry: IT Development & Consulting

Industry: IT Development & Consulting

Application Advice: For the application I would say have look into the world of IT a bit more to gain a better understanding of what the company does and how it can relate to your desire to work in an IT world.

Interview Advice: Just be yourself, the assessment /interview day was just as much character evaluation as it was a formal interview process. Ten10 look for a person who would fit into the culture of the company just as much as someone who's competent in tech.

Industry: IT Development & Consulting

Application Advice: Be yourself, don't be afraid and think that you're different or not qualified for a technical role, they're looking for capable individuals that are capable in all aspects, not just IT.

Industry: IT Development & Consulting

Interview Advice: Be yourself, be confident and put your best foot forward.

Industry: IT Development & Consulting

Application Advice: Find a referral. Reach out to someone from the DU on LinkedIn or find another graduate/someone who'd be willing to be your referral. Goes a long way to pushing your application to the top of the queue and making it visible. There are plenty of recruiting incentives within the company, so people will jump at the chance to referr a bright graduate. Application consists of multiple stages and can feel quite rigorous. Be thorough with your paper applications when applying online. Try to have a referral if possible, but not necessary. Situational Questionnaire is hard to prepare for and was mostly a common sense thing. Some specific questions required some degree of math (might want to remind yourself what the formula is to calculate compound interests and figure out original price values after tax if you've forgotten). You might then have an interview or an "online interview" and assessment centre activity. Online interview is not with a real person; its a set of pre-recorded questions with which you have 2 minutes to answer. Very rigid and not too natural, but the website has a "practice interview". Try to pocket answers for common questions and make them fit within a 2 minute time limit. Assessment Centre will be group activities. Some groups will do better than others - and your group might not be the best - but that's fine. They're looking for both individual performance and cooperative skills. Have good chemistry with your team and highlight your personal qualities. The full interview may happen if there are no Assessment Centre sessions running at the time or in your vicinity. Look at Interview Advice detailed for help with this.

Interview Advice: Although I applied for a specialised role (CRM), I had made it clear from the beginning of the application process that I was not familiar with the platform. They were fine with this. Questions revolved mostly around soft skills and process knowledge: How comfortable are you with presenting? If a team member is failing to meet expectations, how do you handle them? Are you familiar with Agile Methodology? Do you have past experience that you believe is relevant for this position? Why apply for this position in particular? General consultant-skills related questions. Even if you're not familiar with tech/IT (which I was not, coming from a humanities), showing an understanding of consulting skills and making sure to bring on how your past projects/experiences support the skillset they're looking for should be enough. Also, be creative. The best way to show you're comfortable with presenting is getting up and giving an actual presentation then and there. If they ask about Agile then explain the ways you use sprints and kanban boards in your own self-improvement.

Industry: IT Development & Consulting

Application Advice: Show that you are interested in your own learning and growth. Mention situations where you have demonstrated their core values.

Interview Advice: Ask lots of questions about the role, ask the interviewer questions about what they like and would improve about the role, just try to gain as much insight as possible into the role, the company and the people. And show that you are eager to grow and learn. The assessment centre focuses on how you work with others (as they all do), so listen to people and contribute what you can, but don't speak over others.

Industry: IT Development & Consulting

Application Advice: The graduate scheme isn't rigidly structured, you're in charge of your own progression for the most part, so try and mention how you've set yourself goals in your professional/personal life.

Interview Advice: They're looking for you to be someone they'd want to work with. The interview tasks don't necessarily have a right answer, but they want to see how well you participate in meetings/manage time etc.

Industry: IT Development & Consulting

Application Advice: Be yourself. You don't have to come from a technical background or degree for all the roles, just need to have a keen interest in IT and consulting and enthusiasm to learn as they will provide training - the company want employees from diverse backgrounds.

Application Advice: I would advise any applicant to a developer position to mention all Java and Node.js related frameworks they know, and how they have used them in similar scenarios. In my case, Java (5y+ of experience) and Docker (3y+) were key to bring to their attention.

Interview Advice: Most of the interview was carried out with exercises on a whiteboard. Starting with an implementation of a simple mathematical problem (calculate Fibonacci numbers) in a programming language of my choice, and continuing with different ways to implement it (iterative vs recursive) as well as calculating its complexity and improving its performance. Later we continued with a similar problem involving tasks to be executed with dependencies between them. I would advise checking some of the typical simple problems.

Industry: IT Development & Consulting

Interview Advice: The first stage of the application process is the video interview where general questions will be asked (e.g Tell me a fun fact about yourself). For this stage, all you need to do is to be relaxed and enjoy the process. You will be mostly answering questions about yourself and general questions like "What is software testing?". The next stage is the telephone interview, which is a conversation with our Head of Graduate Recruitment where you find out more details about The Academy and you get to ask questions. The interview is very well structured and the company has the chance to know more about you and you get the chance to know more about them. The third step is the assessment day where you get to meet people from the company and speak with directors and previous academy members. Even if there is a long day, it is also a fun day. People are making you feel as you are already part of the company. The day is split into two parts. In the first part, you will have three tests (very easy test, nothing very technical) and in the second part you have your interview. Throughout the day, the recruitment team is entertaining you with Lego and different fun activities that will help you get to know others. You have to just enjoy yourself and relax!

Reach out to the academy support team if you have questions, they are very helpful, and as a bonus, it doesn't hurt if they can already place a name to a friendly conversation.

Interview Advice: Assesment day - The interview is pretty standard questions, so just practise those. Research of the industry is important. The rest of the day is monitored team based games and interactions, and some logic tests. Ask the hiring contact for example logic quiz if you feel unsure of these, I was sent a link to a similar set of quizzes. In the group section just be friendly and not too quiet.

Industry: IT Development & Consulting

Application Advice: Be honest about your level of programming experience, they're looking for someone with the characteristics they want to develop into a software developer, not being a computer science graduate will not be a disadvantage in your interview.

Interview Advice: Understand Capgemini's business model and competitors, keep an eye on the time in the assessment centre exercises, and there's no right answer in the exercises, as long as you can justify it.

Industry: IT Development & Consulting

Application Advice: Do not focus on technical knowledge, focus on your personal skills. This is core to the project manager role. Highlight you are a leader and enjoy problem-solving. Must hold a UK Driving License.

Interview Advice: Portray your personality, they are looking at who will work well in a project team together i.e. whether you are a team player, are willing to listen, but also that you take your development into your own hands.

Industry: IT Development & Consulting

Application Advice: It is a tough application process so make sure you give it your all. It is also extremely competitive due to the level of exposure you get, salary etc. so make sure you really take every step seriously.

Interview Advice: If you are unsure of the answer to a question, give it a go anyway. Trying is always better than not trying.

Industry: IT Development & Consulting

Interview Advice: Read up on the basics of the role but do not pretend to be an expert in the field. Not many graduates already know about the specific industry (performance testing/capacity management) so it is more about demonstrating the ability to pick up technical skills and develop.

Industry: IT Development & Consulting

Application Advice: Coding knowledge, preferably an object orientated one.

Interview Advice: The interviewers will want to see an enthusiastic problem-solving attitude, but mainly be yourself.

Industry: IT Development & Consulting

Application Advice: Application is just to book into an apptitude test so no advice other than turn up for the test!

Interview Advice: Primarily logic based, so talking through ideas and explaing your reasoning is important.

Industry: IT Development & Consulting

Application Advice: Be sure to show off any examples of problem-solving or logical thinking you have done in the past, as those are the skills that are so heavily sought after. Don't stress too much about any lack of experience you may have; no previous knowledge is expected of you when you start. You'll be taught everything you need to know when you need to know it, so as long as you're a quick learner you'll be fine.

Interview Advice: The interviews are a bit more informal than what you may be used to. You'll likely be asked a couple of logic puzzles to see how you solve problems. The interviewers will be more interested in seeing how you work through a problem than actually getting a correct answer, so be sure to explain your process, and don't stress or freeze up if you can't get to the answer.

Industry: IT Development & Consulting

Application Advice: Practise logic puzzles on the internet before taking the aptitude test, so that you know what you might get.

Interview Advice: Just be yourself. Don't be too cocky.

Industry: IT Development & Consulting

Interview Advice: Go through all the services the company provides and past solutions, keep up to date with industry news, read about Cloud Computing and latest advances.

Industry: IT Development & Consulting

Application Advice: Have a multifaceted skill-set not just in cyber-security, coding helps, as does knowledge of other topics as many things collide with cyber-security.

Interview Advice: If you don't know something, be honest, you're not expected to know everything. Also, don't be overly modest with your accomplishments and interests, you're trying to sell yourself. Mock interviews help if you're unsure about how awesome your projects might seem to others. It also helps to convey your passion for the subject. I would also advise talking about your own personal interests as they are hiring you into a workplace with other people. After all, they are looking for a person that is going to work in a team, not a single-minded machine.

Industry: IT Development & Consulting

Application Advice: Take your time and make your experience relevant.

Industry: IT Development & Consulting

Interview Advice: Revise your geometry. There will most likely be geometry questions. If you realise you were wrong on a question, don't be afraid to admit it.

Industry: IT Development & Consulting

Application Advice: Answer all questions. Research the company a little bit, look at Computacenter's core values. Make sure you have a reason for applying to Computacenter and why you are considering a role in IT. Remember, you do not need a background in IT to apply for a graduate scheme, just an interest.

Interview Advice: Be yourself. At interview and assessment centres, Computacenter is much more interested in you as a person. We want team players, good leaders, good communicators and those who represent us well in front of our customers.

Industry: IT Development & Consulting

Interview Advice: The questions are less standard "what can you bring to the team" and more maths/logic puzzles. If you enjoy that kind of thing the interview will be quite fun.

Industry: IT Development & Consulting

Application Advice: If you enjoy problem solving definitely think about applying to TPP.

Industry: IT Development & Consulting

Application Advice: The application process is extremely straightforward so if you think you might be suitable give it a go.

Interview Advice: Answer questions honestly, they are interested in what sort of person you are as well as how well you answer maths and logic questions etc. If you don't know the answer to something don't be afraid to say so.

Industry: IT Development & Consulting

Application Advice: Engage with current grads in the role you are applying for to get a better understanding of the job before you apply.

Industry: IT Development & Consulting

Industry: IT Development & Consulting

Industry: IT Development & Consulting

Application Advice: Alfa likes well- rounded individuals and it shows in the culture in the company. Be sure to talk about what makes you interesting, and not just good at academics (although that is important too!).

Interview Advice: Really try to understand what the company does, and what asset finance is. I would recommend getting on LinkedIn and seeing if you could get a coffee with someone who works here prior to an interview. It not only is a great way to learn more about the company and the culture, it's great to talk about at the interview stage and shows a level of effort that many others would not have put in.

Industry: IT Development & Consulting

Application Advice: All-rounders tend to do well at Alfa. Academic achievement is important, but extensive involvement in extra-curricular activities will also be of help.

Industry: IT Development & Consulting

They are big on cultural fit as well as potential, but you don't need to have any sales/IT experience so far.

Interview Advice: Try and reach out to people on Linked in who have done the associate programme for advice. It is a long process and the assessment centre is very intense and tough, but with the right advice you will be able to excel. They are looking for personality and potential, so really do show the best of who you are. Definitely know the main things about the company, i.e core strategies, all of which can be found on the website. Also, research the company values as these are talked about a lot within the company and at the interviews. Assessment includes dinner with company execs and leadership, so make sure you have done a bit of linked in research before hand.

Industry: IT Development & Consulting

Interview Advice: Be yourself, get ready to travel a lot, team work is very important

Industry: IT Development & Consulting

Industry: IT Development & Consulting

Application Advice: Be friendly, culture is paramount here and no-one wants to work with a bad colleague, no matter how brilliant they are.

Industry: IT Development & Consulting

Interview Advice: Process has changed since I have joined. Be collaborative.

Industry: IT Development & Consulting

Application Advice: Make sure you know what you're applying for! I didn't realise what "consulting" entailed until I got the job, which involves travelling around the country and occasionally abroad. If you don't want to spend time away from home, this job isn't for you.

Industry: IT Development & Consulting

Interview Advice: You have gotten to this stage for a reason, so join in, be friendly and show what you can bring to the team.

Industry: IT Development & Consulting

Application Advice: Really research the company values and the ways in which it works. Have a look at what differentiates Capgemini from other consultancy/IT companies. Take a look at core values as they really are implemented throughout the company.

Interview Advice: Arrive on time, at this stage they already know you well enough so what is important is how well you communicate and work with people. The loudest person does not get the job, it's all about how you collaborate. Have your presentation ready, you will be given two weeks prior to have prepared for it. Also question us at the end, most the people in the room are not just recruiters they are consultants with experience.

Industry: IT Development & Consulting

Industry: IT Development & Consulting

Interview Advice: Be honest, don't be afraid to admit when you don't know things or have not understood the question.

Industry: IT Development & Consulting

Application Advice: Candidates are not expected to already know everything about the industry. Capacitas are very good at seeing potential in applications so I believe it is good to show that you understand what the company does and demonstrate that you are able to pick up new skills with an attitude to learn new skills. Being able to showcase these, then the application will go a long way.

Industry: IT Development & Consulting

Application Advice: Be yourself, show your enthusiasm, be a self starter

Interview Advice: Be yourself - it is such a cliche statement but it is so important, this is the first time you will meet people from the business and you need to gauge if it is right for you, as well as the company assessing your strengths Prepare - come up with scenarios that you wish to speak about in your interview, and what questions these scenarios will apply to. This will help you stay on track in the interview and make you feel at ease as questions come your way

Industry: IT Development & Consulting

Application Advice: Be yourself. Capgemini are looking for candidates who fulfill qualities, not necessarily criteria.

Interview Advice: Take time to think about what the interviewer is asking from you. Compose yourself and don't be afraid to ask to start again. Interviewers understand that this might be the first time you're in this position and they want to get to know you.

Industry: IT Development & Consulting

Application Advice: Make sure you read up as much as you can on digital interviews and application. Don't tailor it to the job, just be yourself

Interview Advice: Always be yourself, passion shines through mostly so you want people to know that. Situational strengths questions - research.

Industry: IT Development & Consulting

Application Advice: Read the questions provided carefully (if relevant) and begin by wireframing your answer rather than diving in - since there will probably be a word count it's important to lay out individual headings that address each part of each question, and then put the rest of the text in afterwards.

Interview Advice: Make sure you research on questions often asked at interviews and create a spreadsheet of "STAR" examples - situation unfolding, task required, action taken, result seen. Do your best to memorise this and you can easily answer questions such as "tell me about a time when you failed to meet expectations" or similar. Have similar examples for relevant hard and soft skills.

Industry: IT Development & Consulting

Application Advice: Do not be put off it is not as 'technical' as you may think.

Industry: IT Development & Consulting

Application Advice: In the past, I vetted applications for the software developer role, and it was always far nicer to see applications from people who had put effort into their CV and cover letter (although we've done away with cover letters since!). Put some effort into making your CV readable, and try to show off the things that make you a good candidate for our work. Also, don't be put off by the "aptitude test". It's basically a maths quiz, and if you've got the A* in Mathematics that we need, you'll enjoy working through the questions.

Interview Advice: Be authentic. It'll make your interview more enjoyable for both you and the interviewers! Get to grips with logic puzzles; we're after people who can quickly solve problems, often out of the blue. Your solutions don't necessarily need to be right first time, but you need to be comfortable working through them.

Industry: IT Development & Consulting

Interview Advice: Be yourself and a team player

Industry: IT Development & Consulting

Interview Advice: Know your core computer science theory very well.

Industry: IT Development & Consulting

Application Advice: Personal projects (especially ones relating to skills asked for in the job description) are a great way to flesh out short CVs. They're not looking for everything on the list but you should at least know what everything means and have done research on it.

Interview Advice: It's an assessment day with a chance to ask both HR and someone in your field questions. There's a 1-2-1 interview and a team assessment as well. The hardest question I was asked was something like "Can you give me an example of a time when you've used enterprise data management tools?" or something similar. I didn't understand what it meant and the interviewer could only explain the question so much (for reference examples of databases, data visualisation or ETL tools were what he was looking for). Everyone is very nice, they'll give you time to think and don't pressure you.

Industry: IT Development & Consulting

Application Advice: good work/life balance if you consider it as an important factor

Industry: IT Development & Consulting

Application Advice: Do your research on FactSet and the job itself so you have a clear idea of what it entails - for Consulting, be aware of the work you'll do for FactSet Support

Interview Advice: Be prepared to answer questions like "Why FactSet? Why this role?"

Industry: IT Development & Consulting

Application Advice: Capgemini is very much focused on the 7 core values. Understand them and how do you think you would demonstrate them through experiences and in scenarios. The application has changed since I joined and is now updated to include a digital interview. My advice is to spend enough time doing your research during each stage of the process.

Industry: IT Development & Consulting

Interview Advice: Be calm and friendly as the team are exactly that so they'll be looking for a nice person, keep questions short as some answers you get will be too long to remember.

Industry: IT Development & Consulting

Application Advice: Pay attention to spelling and grammar. Use the STAR (Situation, Task, Action, Result) methodology when answering video interview questions. Use recent experiences as examples where ever you can - even if they didn't happen in work, an account of how you dealt with a situation while travelling or in uni will be more effective than talking about being a prefect in junior school. Answer the question asked, not the one you wanted to hear or prepared for.

Interview Advice: Be prepared for some questions on current affairs - for example, in my 2017 interview I was asked how I thought Brexit might impact Fujitsu's business, as they'd just transitioned to a Europe-wide organisation rather than individual country organisations. Remember that 'winning' any group task is not the goal - what they're looking at is how you interact with other people. Shouting over anyone won't make a good impression. Prepare an interesting fact about yourself to share! Be yourself and relax - if you force a good fit, a few months down the line it might not work any more.

Industry: IT Development & Consulting

For me I worked towards a fitness application. Although it wasn't the most optimized, best program, I was still able to explain all the steps gone into it and my development on it.

Interview Advice: Keep to key words that you have learnt and can understand to them if asked. For me I talked about what I had worked with and knew this included OOP which I gave examples of me using and example of its use case. Write about anything relevant to developing and teamwork as you will grow to understand working as and in a team is a skill just as much as technical skill and research.

Communicating, team building etc. There are hundreds of applicants- what makes you stand out?

Interview Advice: Don't Panic! Be honest and be yourself. Do your research about the company but don't be afraid if you don't know the answer to a question. If you show that you are willing to learn than that's just as good. Your not expected to know everything. Follow the steps as you would for an interview, dress smart, talk professionally but don't be afraid to show your personality as well. Grades are important but so is attitude.

Industry: IT Development & Consulting

Also make sure to mention what kind of things interest you in the tech industry. It's important to show you have interest in the role your applying for!

Make sure to mention any experience of soft skills you have, and also accept that you may not all the lingo associated with programming. Also, ask a lot of questions, it's always good to get a good understanding of the company you're applying to and what its ethos is.

Industry: IT Development & Consulting

Application Advice: If you are pursuing a career as a software developer the best thing to do before applying is to challenge yourself and learn more about programming. Although previous experience isn't always required, it definitely helps because it proves that you are willing to continue learning.

Interview Advice: At the right moment, present any personal project that you built, speak about what you liked, what went wrong or what could be improved. Be honest, communicate clearly as the interviewers will look at your soft skills because the technical skills will be developed throughout the scheme.

Interview Advice: Brush up on your cyber security fundamentals - Cyber Kill Chain, CIA, etc.

Industry: IT Development & Consulting

Application Advice: Just upload your CV. Keep it clear & simple. If you're asked any questions when filling in an application form then make sure there are no holes to your answer so it's completely clear & bulletproof.

Interview Advice: Just be yourself. As an apprentice, you're not expected to know everything - that's the whole point of the role, to gain more knowledge whilst also getting experience in the work environment. They are looking to hire YOU at the end of the day, so show some character and prove that you're willing to learn and want the experience.

Industry: IT Development & Consulting

Application Advice: Take your time to make sure you're giving all the required detail. There are a lot of steps between application and coming to the interview but don't be deterred as it is worth it!

Industry: IT Development & Consulting

Application Advice: Apply online, you will then have to take an online aptitude test and a video interview. The video interview will be via an app where you record yourself answering questions that come up on the screen (3 questions). If successful you will then be asked to attend a face-to-face interview.

Interview Advice: The interviewers were friendly and I had to complete a group activity with 2 others as well as 3 short interviews. One interview was based around the company, what you know about the company, why you want to work there. The next is around you as a person - why they should hire you, why you'd be a good fit. Finally, the last interview was around integrity, questions based around new colleagues and how you would welcome them/ help them integrate into the team.

Industry: IT Development & Consulting

Application Advice: Be patient

Interview Advice: Be yourself and don't panic

Industry: IT Development & Consulting

Industry: IT Development & Consulting

Application Advice: Go for it, no need to hesitate!

Interview Advice: Be honest. No need to exaggerate!

Industry: IT Development & Consulting

Application Advice: Make sure you look around and see what modules are included within the course. This is a good thing to look out for because it will determine what you actually want to learn as opposed to just applying for it because it says 'software tester'.

Interview Advice: Make sure you come prepared for the interview. They are very intelligent people that are going to ask questions that are potentially out of your comfort zone. They get you to stand up and demonstrate how a piece of software might work (they give you a brief description and you implement it). Relax (as hard as it sounds). Ask questions at the end as they like that.

Industry: IT Development & Consulting

Application Advice: I spent a long time out of work and know how hard and disheartening it can be constantly being knocked back by employers. Sometimes you may not have all the skills or experience asked, but still apply as you never know. A demonstrated passion to learn and grow is far more valuable than simply having a qualification on a piece of paper. Never underestimate your own value!

Interview Advice: Try and remain calm in the interview. Demonstrate your passion and knowledge and come prepared. I was convinced I wasn't going to get the job but thought the interview would be a good chance for me to get more experience and feedback. I think because of this my nerves subsided and I just got on with it. This is a great company and the people here are extremely friendly and will try and make you feel comfortable. My team threw the usual process out the window and covered all the same bases as the questions but in their own way that made it more like a conversation than a formal process. Remember your own value, this is just as much a chance to find out if the company is right for you as it is about if you are right for the company...

Industry: IT Development & Consulting

Application Advice: The application process was pretty simple, we just needed to answer 5 questions, for example, what brand would you want to be and why? My advice is not too over think about the question to try to get the best answer. The questions are about you, answer them truthfully & passionately and everything else will flow.

Interview Advice: The advice I had been given before my interview was to be excited and enthusiastic. It's okay not to know what the 'right' answer may be but rather be yourself and show you have a real passion to learn.

Industry: IT Development & Consulting

Application Advice: Make sure you apply to a role that the apprenticeship suits the actual role provided.

Interview Advice: Bring past experiences with programming and such with you to the interview. They are looking for technical skill more than anything.

Industry: IT Development & Consulting

Application Advice: Definitely after the person and not just a list of qualifications, highlighting soft skills shouldn't be ignored. Showing you understand the personality of the company when applying through what and the way you write is important.

Interview Advice: Questions were all normal with no unexpected questions. Gave you the chance of a follow-up question if your answer to the initial question needed more, where the second question was far enough away from it to give you another proper chance of showing yourself.

Have a basic understanding of what the company does, their work with recent clients and show your expression for IT in general.

Interview Advice: Ensure you know your CV and cover letter well, as you will be questioned on aspects of it and asked to expand on certain points. Also, ensure you know the company well and the type of work they have done with clients (found on the website in the form of blogs). Understand the basic concept of the 'Cloud', how it works, the benefits and disadvantages compared to storing data on-premises. Prepare questions (2-3) to ask at the end of the interview, which could be based around the working environment within the company, etc.

Industry: IT Development & Consulting

Application Advice: Show your technical knowledge in the CV as well as your experience using it, remember that evidence speaks louder! You will be dealing with people! Show them where you have dealt with teams, clients (if possible), and any other experience in which you had a chance to use interpersonal skills.

Interview Advice: Very important that you are aware of what Capacity and Performance is. Do your research of the company and read through some of the whitepapers and business cases (this is valuable information that will make you aware of the Capacity management world). Polish your knowledge regarding cloud computing and storage! Relax and be open about yourself, if you made it to the interview, they are interested enough to see what kind of person you are, so don't fake who you are in the interview and bring the best of yourself!

Interview Advice: Be honest, be confident, be passionate, and then you will be comfortable enough to drive across your desire for the role and prove you are the best candidate for the job.

Industry: IT Development & Consulting

Application Advice: Answer all online questions and complete video questions honestly. I felt it was most important to express my passion for the subject, e.g. software development.

Interview Advice: Try and treat it like a balanced conversation with the interviewer. At the end of my interview I was given a word game to play, in which I had to guess what my interviewer was thinking by only asking questions he could answer yes or no to, up to 20 questions. I later found out that of those who had been through this game so far, no one had succeeded. I believe they are looking more at how you approach a problem rather than your actual answers, in which case I would advise just staying calm and approaching it slowly.

Industry: IT Development & Consulting

Application Advice: For your CV, make sure that you let those interpersonal skills shine along with experience to backup your claims. Be honest with what you write and add any relevant experience/grades related to your computing knowledge (even if it's 'I built my own pc', that demonstrates you have some knowledge of computing systems (outside what university teaches).

Interview Advice: Come to the meeting with a humble attitude, and be yourself.
