The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Vodafone (Newbury, England)
Interview
The process up until the assessment centre was all positive with a number of tests, and online interviews which is what you can expect.
The assessment centre itself was a good day overall with the staff being really relaxed natural and honest; the only negative that put a downer on the whole Experience is i feel you are not given a chance to shine within the group task as on my actual group i had three very forceful young women who would not allow anyone else to get a word in and of course you would not want to shout over them to look unprofessional so i raised my hand and waited to speak but never managed to get enough in to actually show my skill set; i had also brought this up on the day with the staff.
Thanks for the feedback.The group exercises are designed to simulate real life business situations and working with the different people in those is also a skill to learn. The good news is that you are assessed on all the different tasks throughout the day and not just one, so you get plenty of chances to shine.
I interviewed at Vodafone
Interview
5 questions asked, fairly straightforward and easy. Then asked to complete two online assessments afterwards which didn’t take long. Got to re-record answer and was given two minutes
Why Vodafone, why this role etc
Same as other large company interviews. Based online, interviewees were asked about their past experiences and then proceeded with a section on games focused on finding patterns. The process itself was not difficult or time-consuming, however, I would prepare some practice questions before attempting-- to sound confident and prepared.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe a situation when you had to make a quick decision based on limited information. What action did you take and what was the result?
The Assessment Centre had group, individual then a 1 on 1 interview.
Each task lasted around 45 minutes in total, with plenty of breaks in-between. My session started in the morning with lunch provided after. Great experience all-round.
