Interview
Video interview - video interview which presents you with questions and then gives you time to prepare an answer, then answer by recording your Qs to the camera. Questions included: What is your understanding of the FDM business model and how the graduate scheme works. What challenges are you looking for in your next role. Can you tell me about something in IT that you are passionate about. How do you build rapport on your first day as an FDM consultant. Example of a time you overcome a problem to achieve a goal. Why is the IT industry for me.
Assessment centre - started at around 10.00am lasted till around 4.30pm. Pretty straight forward, relaxed assessment centre. Sat 3 tests - Maths, Aptitude/IT and Venn Diagrams. The guide they send you is very useful for revising for these. Maths was GCSE level maths i.e. long division, multiplication, simultaneous equations, fractions etc. The YouTube tutorials are useful for the Venn diagrams. As long as you prepare you should be fine. We then had 3 interviews (Qs below) each lasted around 10 minutes, one was about university, one was IT related and one about motivations.

I applied online. I interviewed at FDM Group (Frankfurt am Main) in Apr 2015
Interview
Das übliche was man von einem Assessment Center erwartet.
Gruppenarbeiten, Einzelgespräche, Excel-Aufgaben, Präsentation, die man bereits vorbereitet hat,
Erst wird das Unternehmen vorgestellt, nach einer kurzen persönlichen Vorstellung geht es auch mit den ersten Gruppenaufgaben los. An sich nichts weltbewegendes. Informiert euch über das Unternehmen, stellt euch gut ans Licht und ihr bekommt mit Sicherheit ein Angebot.
Bei mir wurde kein Angebot gemacht, da es momentan keine Aufträge zu besetzen geben soll. Dann stelle ich mir aber die Frage, weshalb wird man dann überhaupt eingeladen. Naja muss man nicht verstehen.
