I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Rolls-Royce (Derby, England) in Oct 2011
Interview
one to one competency based interview, the usual "tell me about a time when" type questions, followed by a more informal, but focussed interview about the specific role. Was asked to prepare a presentation for the first interview, but was given the question before hand (What challenges would you expect to face in this role?)
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time when you have had to influence other people to make a positive change?
