      Graduate Engineer Interview

      6 Feb 2022
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Warwick, West Midlands, England
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at National Grid (Warwick, West Midlands, England) in Feb 2022

      Interview

      I found the job description in LinkedIn, which took me to the National Grid website, there I applied. The whole process took about 30min. The next day I have received an reply back that I do meet the minimum criteria for the role I have applied, which I guess have been the course I am studying. I had been given a link to HireVue, where I had to answer 6 questions and play 2 games, throughout the whole time my camera was enabled. Each question had about 30 seconds prep time and 3mins to answer. You could re-record up to 4 times. The games were 1) matching the patterns, 2) numeracy. They were really fun to do.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      1) Please describe a time you set difficult goals for a project and the steps you took to achieve these goals. Describe the situation, what actions you took, and the result. 2) Tell us about a time you had to solve a problem at school or at work, but you were given confusing information. Please describe the situation, what you did, and the outcome. 3) Please describe a time you built a great relationship with someone. Describe the situation, what actions you took, and the result. How was the relationship helpful? 4) Please tell us about a time it was important for you to follow rules. Describe the situation, your actions, and the outcome. 5) Please tell us about a time you had to learn a new skill and describe the steps you took to make sure you were successful. What was the outcome? 6) Imagine that you are given a week to prepare an important presentation at school or work. The presentation is on a subject that you are neither knowledgeable nor passionate about. Please describe your approach, the steps you would take, and what you would do to ensure success?

      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at National Grid

      Interview

      Extremely unprofessional with a complete lack of respect for a graduate’s time. Firstly, I passed the initial screening and online test stages before submitting a recorded interview in November. I then received an email in early December to ask if I was available on a specific date in January, in the event that I was shortlisted for the job. I replied to confirm my availability and made sure to keep the date free. I did this for 7 weeks without further communication until the day before the interview date when I was informed that I had not been selected. The hiring team showed a disregard for their future employees’ time and personal life.
