      Mechanical Engineering Apprentice Interview

      8 Jun 2026
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Salisbury, England
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at QinetiQ (Salisbury, England)

      Interview

      We did a group problem solving activity, which went well enough and then individual interviews where one of the interviewers was hostile for some reason. He asked me a question, then made assumptions about my answer out loud and didn't let me speak again before moving on.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      "Why do you want to do an apprenticeship instead of going to 6th form?" I said because I wanted to do more hands on stuff and less theory. Interviewer assumed I was just looking for a way out of exams.
