I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Hays (Reading, Inglaterra) in Mar 2017
Interview
-Online application- send off CV
-Telephone interview with internal recruiter, basically to see if you can hold a conversation over the phone
-Interview- Generally with a manager- I did with a director, have a conversation about your experience- a few competency based questions, a role play task of selling your service to a client then given feedback then a second try (the important think is to be persistent and listen to the feedback and apply it, they know you don't know much about how to do it, they look for potential)
- Assessment centre- with 4-16 other people, one director and an internal recruiter- (think on your feet, research the company well, learn the four key values)- individual tasks, present yourself and why hays should hire you, write a job advert (look online at hays job adverts for this task before hand) role play phone conversation with a prospective client, then role play meeting with the client (can use imagination, if given a candidate and trying to sell them to the client, make up a back story)
-Final interview with directors at the office you applied to- show how eager you are and how much potential, ask questions such as their personal journey through the company, be receptive and listen.
Most important thing is to seem passionate and eager.

Question 1
If you feel like this position isn't for you, but you have to fulfil the contract, what would you do?
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Hays (Aylesbury, Inglaterra) in Mar 2017
Interview
There are 4 stages to the interview: telephone, individual, group and another individual. I am currently at the last stage of the interview process where I will be meeting the director and the manager for the branch that I am applying for. The telephone interview is rather basic, there is role play and general questioning in the individual interview and in the group interview there is numerous role play scenarios (which are carried out infront the rest of the group). You are given some study material 24hours before the group interview, I would advise that you use it as it very relevant throughout the process. You also get to meet people working there and see what they do so that's great!
