I applied online. I interviewed at Mars in Nov 2016
Interview
The application process begins with an online application form + cv, after which I was invited to complete some online tests (mine were logical reasoning tests). Following that, I was invited to a phone interview, which was scheduled through the application website. The recruiter on the phone interview was really friendly and helpful, so that definitely helped with nerves. I was very nervous so I was not able to answer well, but she was very patient, and had helped me with constructing my thoughts. It was a great experience overall.

Why do you want to work for MARS? Why MMDP?
They asked a number of competency based questions. Make sure to relate your answers to MARS and their principles.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Mars (Sídney) in Mar 2016
Interview
Following on from online testing, I received an online video interview featuring 6 questions. 30 seconds to read each question and then 1-2 minutes to answer.
This really puts you on the spot and challenges you to think quickly, I would advise having your resume in front of you, as well as reading Mars' core values, brands, and strategies.

Question 1
What does Mars' core values mean to you? How do you try to involve these in every-day behaviour?

The assessment centre involved a case study, role play, group work and interview.
