Tips from successful applicants
1️⃣ Explain your thinking process during your case study or assessment. There’s no perfect answer.
2️⃣ Be structured and prepared in your answers and questions, provide some examples of previous experiences while trying to stay concise. It shows that you are organised and helps you learn more about the role, culture, and team.
3️⃣ Be honest about your skills and past experiences. It’s normal not to tick all the boxes but use this to present other skills that you possess that would be useful for the job. Recruiters want to know whether you are willing to try new things and willing to take on challenges.
