They will be business-like but require no prior knowledge in the field, so practice presenting with little preparation time and areas outside your comfort zone. Within the interview make sure to give applied examples for every question.

DHL Supply Chain

Future Leaders Graduate, Business Performance Management at DHL Supply Chain

Application Advice: In your CV, show that you are interested in how things work. The company want people who are curious. They are not looking for a specific skill set when a person enters the graduate scheme: they want people who demonstrate a willingness to adapt and develop their knowledge. Examples of teamwork are useful, as well as an openness to meeting new people. I had to perform an online assessment, which was a job simulation. It tested problem-solving, communication and maths skills. There was no time limit and there was plenty of information to guide my decisions and written responses. In preparation, perhaps revise percentages and basic sums. Be concise in your written answers. I wrote little more than a couple of sentences for most of them.

Interview Advice: Make sure you do your research before attending the assessment centre. Spend at least a couple of hours familiarizing yourself with the company structure and its CSR activities. Also, read a couple of recent news stories concerning DHL to reference (those that are positive/interesting from a business perspective). In terms of interview questions, I was asked to demonstrate an interest in technology. In response, I talked about my hobby of writing music using computer software. Additionally, I was asked about occasions when I had led a team, experienced setbacks and devised actions towards a particular goal. The assessors reward candidates who ask questions and contribute to discussions. However, try not to talk over people. Demonstrate that you are a good listener as well as someone who can think creatively and steer a team.

First Line Manager, Cross dock at DHL Supply Chain

Application Advice: Get involved in extra curricular events and training which will make you stand out from the crowd. I attended the UN Global Impact's Global Goals Roadshow as this was something that interested me and was applicable to a range of industries. It also provided me the opportunity to develop my networking skills, interview techniques and build my confidence in a more formal setting than university.

Interview Advice: The best advice I can give for an interview is to take your time before responding. It is easy to fall into the trap of speaking at a million miles an hour trying to get as may points across as possible. However, taking a short pause to think of your response and to control how quickly speak will pay dividends as it gives the impression that you are calm controlled and specific. Additionally, make sure you have prepared multiple examples for stock questions i.e. how did you deal with conflict and resolve this issue going forward etc. The more examples you the more confident you will feel.

Interview Advice: I try and use the STAR technique in interviews and I know a lot of companies like this technique so I would make sure you are familiar with this. After doing some research into the company values & strategy it might become clear what skills they value so try to think of times that you have demonstrated these skills (e.g. at uni, school or part-time jobs) and then try to fit this into the STAR technique in your answer.

Interview Advice: In my experience at interview and supporting the recruitment events everyone wants you to succeed, no one is trying to trip you up (it felt like that in some of the other grad interviews I attended). I even had a coughing fit in the middle of my interview but because there are lots of different components to the assessment day (teamwork etc.) even if you mess one up you still have the chance to impress elsewhere and a solid chance to get recruited.

DHL Supply Chain

Transport FLM, Transport at DHL Supply Chain

Application Advice: I would first say relax and be yourself, it really isn't as daunting as you may at first think. In terms of preparation, I would focus on the DHL strategies, 2020 and 2025, because you will be asked about these at some point in the application process. Here I would be thinking about how you view these and how you may have demonstrated these in the past. I would also research the company and the customers we work with, this is a really interesting part of working for DHL and will also show your interest and passion for our business.

Interview Advice: Really think about why you want to work in Supply Chain, what the environment is like, what skills you will need and what values are important in this industry, then apply this to yourself and think of times in which you have demonstrated these qualities. Also think about the company strategy 2025 and what this means to you.

DHL Supply Chain

Facilities Solution Designer, Solution Design at DHL Supply Chain

Application Advice: I know that it sounds obvious and is really boring to do but do your research. You don't have to know everything there is to know about the company but find something that excites you and dig a little deeper. If there's something that the company does that truly excites you and you can bring that up in your application. That passion will come through. Also practice. The more practice tests, fake video interviews you do the more comfortable you will be doing them and the better your application will come across.

Interview Advice: Take your time and explain your thinking/logic. The questions are broad and open-ended for a reason - the interviewers want to see how you think but they care less about being told all the things you've done. Definitely don't be afraid to show your achievements though.. use them to back up your point. Ask questions! Ask questions about the programme, the roles you might get to do, the roles your interviewer's do, long term opportunities etc.. nothing shows that you want the role more. And react to the answers - if you're told something that sounds amazing, say so!

Future Leader Graduate, Solutions Design for Transport at DHL Supply Chain

Application Advice: When applying, your passion needs to come through - an individual who strives to achieve personal and professional excellence is an important attitude to have. The process involves a series of online tests and video interviews and the key is to be genuine and honest. When applying to the DHL future leader's programme you may not have a directly applicable degree but as long as you show willingness and capability to learn and have relevant soft skills and basic understanding of the company, you will be fine.

Interview Advice: I was asked questions such as: Describe a time you were faced with a challenge and how you dealt with it? What do you consider your greatest achievement to be? There were some questions I did not have direct experience with as I came from a design-related background, however, whatever you do - do not just reply "I don't know, I have never experienced this". You can explain that you have never dealt with an experience that the interviewer described but then go on to describe how you would go about the situation if it were to arise. This shows the interviewer your thought processes in stressful situations.

Application Advice: It was a very traditional application. No psychometric tests which was a real positive for me. I went through an agency who were helpful during the application process. Although, from their first judgements of my CV they didn't think I would be a good fit, so I challenged them and show examples of my previous work which changed their minds.

Interview Advice: "Be yourself" and just relax. I thought my first interview went terribly, by my standards - although I still got the role. The second interview which was task-based, allowed me to show my analytical skills by completing a short task in excel and answering "what else do you think would be useful to know?". In this style of interview I would say manage your time to give both parts a fair share, but equally don't be afraid to show us exactly how you work. That's what we want to know.

The presentation is highlighting your communication skills and the ability to stick to the task and deal with on-the-spot questions.

Supply Chain Professional Leader Degree Apprenticeship, Supply Chain Solutions at DHL Supply Chain

Application Advice: There are various stages of the application and all you can do at each stage is be completely honest and be yourself. Take the application stages as a chance to get to know the business more before you begin; there are interactives tasks throughout the application process which really allow you to get a feel for what your daily job could entail. My biggest piece of advice is try not to answer questions how you think DHL want them to be answered because this will just make your application boring and one in hundreds that they receive. Be yourself and make yourself stand out.

Interview Advice: My interview was slightly different to usual as it was virtual due to the ongoing situation with Covid-19. The final application stage is the interview (or assessment centre/day). By this point you would have completed a couple of different virtual tests. My assessment day had three stages, there was a group task, an individual interview and then an individual role play situation. I was most nervous about the role play, however, it is best just to throw yourself into it otherwise you can come across nervous or shy. Be prepared for there to be a lot of assessors (I believe there were about 10 interviews four of us) however, just remember everyone is human and therefore, there really is nothing to worry about. It went by really quickly and it may seem daunting but it really isn't!

Chartered Manager Degree Apprenticeship, Transport – M&S Peterborough at DHL Supply Chain

Application Advice: Make sure you are determined and you know you want this role as it is a lot of time dedication and a lot of hard work. However when applying I would mostly underline your ability to work under pressure as studying and working can be very stressful. Another thing that you want to be able to highlight is flexibility. A huge pro of being on this apprenticeship is that you are stretched, you are pulled in to finance, IT, People management, and many more. You want to appeal to the role as much as possible, and make yourself seem as far from rigid as possible, and portray your skills to work and adapt quickly to new environments.

Interview Advice: At the interview, its very important to be relaxed. I was asked how I cope under pressure, what my pros & cons are, and more. You want to seem as natural as possible, outlining you have all the strengths and no negatives will not convince anyone. Being honest here is key, but also making the negative sound like a pro is one of the most important things I have learned from being involved in interviews and being interviewed. For example, a weakness could be that you undertake too many tasks. In this instance, it would be a good weakness to highlight because you have to work well under pressure in this industry, so being able to convey that despite pressure, you like to challenge yourself and complete as many tasks as possible may be in your favor. However it is also a negative because it might seem messy. So you want to be careful with your words and what weaknesses you choose, and how you convey the positive effects of it as well as being truthful and showing the negatives.

Chartered Management Degree Apprentice, Manufacturing at DHL Supply Chain

Application Advice: Try to experience as much as you possibly can before applying. This experience is vital while in the working world as you are aware of different situations and how to deal with them, making you more appealing on your CV. Also, knuckle down on your studies. Having strong qualifications just shows the employer that you are capable of the workload and also being able to understand it at a high level. This is crucial whilst on an apprenticeship like this as you will encounter new knowledge every day so having the ability to process it all and understand it is vital for efficiency and even your own progression.

Interview Advice: Sounds cliché but just be yourself. DHL is a company that is reasonable and prefers to go for the person rather than what is necessarily put down on paper. Having self-confidence and vital past experience (in any area not to be exact) is crucial in making you stand out to the employer. Yes, qualifications are key but without having that self-confidence being portrayed in the interview, the employer may not think you are fit for this (sometimes) intense course as you will constantly be in contact with various different people including managers of high importance.
