      Graduate Designer Interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Sage

      Interview

      The interview process was generally positive and professional, with an interesting approach. I reached the final stages, which initially involved answering questions via recorded video responses. The last stage consisted of a small group (around five candidates) where activities were enjoyable and straightforward, followed by a final interview. One notable aspect was that, although this was advertised as a graduate role, most applicants weren’t recent graduates. However, the process seemed fair, and we were assured we’d receive feedback regardless of the outcome. The interview team stated that, successful or not, Sage would offer guidance and feedback to help us in future applications. Unfortunately, this assurance didn’t hold up. I was told I’d receive a response by a specific day, but that day passed without any communication. Waiting over the weekend made it worse, as I couldn't reach out until Monday, when I eventually received a response. When I followed up for feedback on my performance, I received no reply. This lack of follow-through contradicted Sage’s promise of ongoing support and feedback. Additionally, it was disappointing to see that for a graduate position, the final candidates included people with significant experience, some having graduated years ago and already working in the field. It raises the question: how can recent graduates compete for such roles if they’re pitted against seasoned professionals? A Word of Caution: If you’re a new graduate applying for this position, be prepared to compete with candidates who have several years of experience.
