Extremely unprofessional with a complete lack of respect for a graduate’s time. Firstly, I passed the initial screening and online test stages before submitting a recorded interview in November. I then received an email in early December to ask if I was available on a specific date in January, in the event that I was shortlisted for the job. I replied to confirm my availability and made sure to keep the date free. I did this for 7 weeks without further communication until the day before the interview date when I was informed that I had not been selected. The hiring team showed a disregard for their future employees’ time and personal life.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
General situational questions (tell me about a time that you…)
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at National Grid (Glasgow, Scotland)
Interview
The process consists of 4 stages. The first being an online application followed by online psychometric tests (verbal, numerical and abstract). then there was a phone interview which was in 3 sections. Industry awareness, Communication and Problem solving/decision making.
First Hirevue, then email saying you have been forwarded to the hiring manager, then interview day with case interview with 2 other candidates, after you get contacted in a few weeks about the decision.
first round was a recorded interview with a number of question second round was with two staffs third round was with a group of other interviewees to do a group interview
