I applied online. I interviewed at FDM Group (Toronto, ON) in Jun 2017
Interview
After submitting my resume online, I got a phone interview with the recruiter. Asked questions about the company, what they do, their new graduate program and why you're interested. Then she asked some technical questions about sql like what is the select statement and join. Also asked about my knowledge of excel and had to explain what Vloookup function does. After that I was invited to an on site interview for an assesssment. Assessment day is from 9-2. You do an aptitude test, basic math test, and set notation test (venn diagrams). Then there's 2 one-to-one interviews: 7.5 min behavioural and 7.5 min technical interview. The behavioural interview was straight forward. Asked about my ambitions, my past experiences, etc. The technical interview depends on what skills you put on your resume. Make sure you know what you have written there. The technical trainer gave me an sql problem and had to write down the answer.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at FDM Group (Leeds, England) in Jun 2017
Interview
I was called up by one of the recruiters saying they had found my CV on one of the job sites and that I may be interested in the FDM graduate programme. I did my research and since I had never had practice with job interviews, assessment centres etc I thought I would apply. So I contacted the recruiter again and was invited to perform a video interview which I did. A couple of days after, I was again called by the recruiter and was told my video interview was successful and was invited to the assessment centre in Leeds. The assessment centre was fairly easy. Three interviews with management, about 5 to 7 questions each. All strength based questions. After the interview three exams were conducted, IT aptitude, basic maths, and logical/Venn Diagram. Again the exams were also easy. Overall the assessment centre was a positive and fairly easy process and I enjoyed it. The staff and recruitment were really friendly and welcoming. A day after the assessment centre the recruiter rang me and told me I was successful and was offered the job. I verbally accepted it however, I have not signed anything due to other possible offers. I hope all this helps.
PS When answering any questions during any interview always use examples!!
