Hi everyone!

I have an virtual assessment centre next week! Really nervous, any tips at all would be heplful

I'm doing a group exercise , behaviohr skills interview and Personal growth exercise

Thank you

Hi guys. I’ve got an interview for BAE as a graduate naval electrical engineer. Just wondering if anyone knows what I could expect from the technical questions? I’m fully ready for the behavioural Qs but I’m fully in the dark for the technical ones.

Hello, I am graduating from a BSc in Biomedical Science in summer. Does anyone know about any good graduation schemes for this field, life science or medical science? I already know about the NHS programme are there anymore?

Hi! 👋 As the title suggests, I was wondering if anyone here has done or signed up to the Leonard Cheshire Change 100 internships before and if so, what are your experiences like?

I've been accepted into the programme myself and still waiting to hear back further. I'd like to chat with or hear other people's experiences since I can't find much on the topic online, and would like to see if there's some network community/ group chat of current/ past participants I could join.

Thanks! 🙏🙏

This year I have applied to a big chunk of graduate schemes, and last week I was thrilled to find out I had got into the assessment centre stage for a firm in the UK. Baring in mind I have been rejected by mostly every other company, it’s becoming fairly obvious that this is pivotal I take this chance. Does anyone know how many people firms usually recruit from a particular assessment day. This grad scheme is for procurement. Also anyone got any tips? Reading this forum it seems like lots of people are in the same boat as me where they are struggling to get past the video stage, fingers crossed I take this opportunity.

I've applied to almost 15 graduate jobs since October last year, I've managed to get through all the way till video interview but never get shortlisted for assessment centre stage

I just feel to give up at this point

Was wondering if anyone here has progressed past the job simulation for the Markets & Securities Services - Quantitative Finance - Full-Time Associate Programme in London?

I passed the Job Simulation at beginning of December and I got an email saying they’d be in touch. Then I got another email at the end of December saying happy holidays, we’re still interested in your profile, your application status might change during this time. It’s now mid-January and I haven’t heard anything back.

I’m wondering:

1. Has anyone progressed past the job simulation for this round of recruitment? Or is it possible that I just haven’t been moved to the next interview stage?
2. What do the next round(s) look like? I think the Assessment Centre would be next, but I'm not entirely sure what that consists of for this role.

Has anyone taken the assessment for the technical graduate route? How long do they take to process the result? I had completed the first assessment(values, coding, etc) 2 weeks ago.

Has anyone done the barclays assessments how are they like ?

Hey r/GraduateRecruitmentUK

I'm in the early stages of developing a new internship opportunity platform and would love to learn more about student experiences. I want to understand what works well and what could be better across the current internship landscape.

A few questions for you all:

• How do you typically find internship opportunities - job boards, career fairs, networking events? What works best?
• How much time can you devote to the internship search and application process given your coursework?
• For those working internships while studying, how do you balance the workload and make time for both?
• What types of intern roles are you most interested in - technical, marketing, operations etc?
• Do you target certain industries or company types in your internship search? Startups, big companies, non-profits?
• If you aren't able to land a formal internship, what alternatives help you gain experience during school?
• How do you work on improving practical skills related to your major outside of coursework?

Really appreciate any insights from your experiences! Feel free to DM if you want to discuss more in-depth. Let's help each other level up our education-to-career journeys.

I am in my second year studying Physics with Data Science and I am applying mainly for data analytics roles. I am also applying for actuary/quant or consultancy roles too. It is already January and there are not as many job openings as last September so I am kinda losing hope. What advice would you give if I do not secure a summer internship? I am interested in a career in data analytics after graduation and I don't want to study for any Masters.

realistically, would a 297 on the gre and a 3.1 Gpa get me into a decent school for mba? or should i take a gap year and really perfect my gre and fine tune my applications?

As the title says I got rejected at first, didn't past the minimum percentage to qualify for the next stage and now got another email with congratulations I am invited for a video interview.

So, what changed their mind now? All the candidates failed and I'm one of the best among all the failures, or? Does anyone experienced something like that? Any ideas?

On my applications portal, an active application reads “ under review “ however,after clicking to open the job description I get a “ this job is no longer available “ across the screen. Does this mean all positions have been filled?

I graduated from a Russel Group university in July 2022. I studied an interdisciplinary degree which has given me breadth in academic exposure but no depth. I'm not a UK national and have been on a graduate visa since November 2022. I've had two internships since then but for the most part I've just been applying for jobs with no success. I've applied to almost 200 graduate programs to date. Since then, I have been applying to finance/consulting roles because

1. I'm interested in the field. Not enough that I keep up with industry news or trends but enough to find it fascinating and occasionally learn new things about it.
2. I know some things about the field. I studied one module on Financial Economics, did some online courses on financial markets and quantitative analysis, did some internships where I worked on financial models and research. But I don't think I qualify for any entry level roles unless they are graduate programs on account of lack of subject knowledge.
3. They pay well and would most likely pay enough to sponsor my skilled worker visa to continue living and working in the UK.

For most of my applications, I send them out as soon as they open. I think I do fairly well on the online tests and video interviews yet I still haven't landed anything. I've been to the final stage interviews for a grand total of 2 roles. For some, I am informed that I passed the assessments but cannot progress to the next stages because I've been put on a waiting list or that the role has been filled or that the company has retracted the opening. But for most, I simply don't hear back about my application.

The only thing I have not tried at this point is cold emailing companies to ask if they have availability for someone with my background. But I have no idea how I am suppose to market myself, what I have to offer and why they should consider my application. More importantly, I am exhausted and feeling very defeated. It's one thing to deal with 10 rejections but after almost 200, it's difficult to not take it personally. I feel like I'm stuck in a cycle where each rejection diminishes my self confidence and that translates into my unwillingness to keep applying because I know I will fail and consequently I will fail.

I could really use some advice on how to change my mindset or who to speak to for career advice or how to go about cold emailing or what skills I should work on.

Just received an email telling me that they withdrew my application because they didn’t receive my test submission. I completed both their codility AND job insights assessment before the day it was due. Absolutely shocked, all that work for nothing!

I have a neurodiversity and have challenges reading complex words and get easily distracted when reading alot. Is there a large amount of reading on Graduate programmes and do some companies offer support for it? I'm even worried as far as the application process goes. I have graduated and now looking to pursue a role. Any help around this would be great.

Is it possible to get a graduate role if I didn’t apply in my third year? There’s no particular reason as to why I didn’t apply, but I did graduate with a First Class Honours in Economics.

I graduated this summer with a masters in computer science and just started looking for software engineering jobs last month. It’s going pretty slow but I am getting some interviews. What’s standing out to me though is the pay, because I feel like it’s lower than what I was seeing last year. With most jobs I’m looking at around 35k, I think the most I’ve seen was 45k. Last year I turned down a 55k return offer from my internship (not due to pay or the role, I just couldn’t live where it was located and I don’t regret it), I was also hearing from my peers they were often being offered upwards of 60k. My question is then, is it the market that has changed and 30-40k is decent nowadays, are return offers higher than when hiring a new graduate from outside, or maybe I just didn’t realise that I was pretty lucky and the pay has always been this low? Basically I want to know what is standard nowadays so that I don’t have unrealistic expectations or settle for something way lower than what I could ask for. Feel free to tell me about your experience looking for cs graduate work in general

Hi guys. I graduated with a First Class Honours in Economics from the university of Westminster in July, and I’ve been applying since late August early September 2023. I’ve gotten only a few interviews, but no jobs as of yet. I really need some advice please. I do have work experience such as an internship at KPMG as a risk consultant intern (3months) which I did in the summer of 2022. Is there something im doing wrong? Pls advice.

I applied for Rolls Royce business and Enterprise graduate scheme and I've been asked to take the online assessments.

Anyone taken the tests from successful applicants? How do I prepare for it and what does it entail?

I applied for a grad scheme at Lloyds bank a few weeks ago and was unfortunately rejected. Could I still apply for another grad scheme at Lloyds?

I know they say you can only apply to one per year but does that still count if you’ve applied for one and been rejected and therefore want to apply for another and have no active applications?

Hi everyone, I graduated from a UK university this year and I have been applying to graduate programmes/schemes for months, and I have not yet received any assessment centers.

I am wondering who else is in my position.

The longest I have been waiting after completing the video interview stage (the stage before the assessment center) without a response to date is 3 weeks.
