      IT Industrial Placement Interview

      30 Apr 2017
      Anonymous employee
      London, England
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at GSK (London, England) in Mar 2017

      Interview

      Applied online - standard application form; personal information, explain your interest in the role/GSK etc. Invited to complete 3 assessments: 1. Values fit test 2. Numerical reasoning test 3. Verbal reasoning test They weren't too difficult. Just practice a few online first. Soon after, I was told I was successful and was invited to an assessment centre. (This is unusual, most companies will do a telephone interview first before assessment centre) Assessment centre involved 3 tasks: 1. Group task - You and 3/4 other candidates are given information about a product that isn't doing very well. You are told to look at the information (each person has a slightly different set of information) and present your ideas on how to increase sales. They are looking for you to get involved in the conversation, involve other etc. 2. Presentation - You will have been asked to prepare a 5-7 minute presentation on a recent achievement. They are looking for good communication skills in your presentation as well as an achievement relevant to the role in some way. (Doesn't have to be directly. Could show recent leadership achievement in a sport or learning a new skill) 3. Competency Interview - Standard competency interview with a lot of team work questions. Practice a lot before you go. Prepare answers for a wide variety of questions. Use STAR method. I was asked what kind of role I was looking for. I then received an offer for a role a few weeks later and accepted.

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at GSK (Brentford, England) in Jan 2016

      Easy day, very relaxed. Welcomed by the students working there. Even though there were three people interviewing, they did not try to catch out with anything. The interview was relaxed as long as prep has been done
