I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Arup (Amsterdam) in June 2012
Interview
Stuurde mijn CV naar het kantoor in Amsterdam en werd na 3 weken uitgenodigd voor een sollicitatiegesprek. Een vennoot, erg aardig, voerde dit gesprek met mij: het was helemaal niet technisch, maar alleen, denk ik, om mijn soft skills en in het algemeen mijn enthousiasme om daar te werken te beoordelen.

Question 1
Er werden mij geen lastige vragen gesteld, de man was ontzettend aardig
The interview process was well organised and professional. The interviewers were knowledgeable and asked a range of technical and practical questions related to structural engineering. The process was challenging but fair and provided a good opportunity to discuss previous experience and problem-solving skills.

Question 1
Can you describe a challenging structural engineering project you have worked on and explain how you solved the key technical issues?
First telephone contact and subsequently an online interview with the Head of Structures Department and HR. Introductory and technical questions, but nothing too demanding. Very low salary offer well below the current market.
