I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Procter & Gamble (Caracas, Capital District) in Apr 2009
Interview
You will need to apply online for a graduate position at Procter & Gamble. Visit the Procter & Gamble website and check current job vacancies. If you find a position that suits you, click 'apply now' to begin your application.
To make an online application you will need an electronic copy of your CV (in English) and a summary of your latest grades to input into your application. Once you have successfully applied for a graduate role you will receive a confirmation email.
If rejected you will not be allowed to re-apply for 12 months. Successful applicants will be invited to complete an online questionnaire (although not all roles require candidates to complete this).
Based on the position you have applied to, you will be asked to complete a 20 - 30 minute online questionnaire. This will be relatively straight-forward but will be used to discern which candidates to invite to the next stage of the assessment.
The online questionnaire is composed of two parts:
1. Success Drivers Assessment - Involves a series of short questions that ask how you would respond to a particular situation or problem in the workplace. Some questions will also ask you to evaluate your own academic standing and leadership qualities.
2. Reasoning Screen - Involves 15 questions that test your figural reasoning. This test is strictly timed, 1.5 minutes per question. Make sure you accomplish this test in an environment free of distractions.
f you successfully pass all the testing stages of the Procter & Gamble assessments, you'll be invited to an interview at an office or possibly on campus. Most interviews last 45 - 60 minutes and typically involve up to two senior leaders from the function you are applying to.
Most interviews are competency based and you should prepare for competency based questions about your academic and personal history.
Procter & Gamble are looking for evidence of what they call “Success Drivers” at the interview. These are specific core competencies that define how P&G people succeed in today's business environment. They are also how P&G measures performance in the Company.
