I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at BASF (Alfreton, England) in Oct 2017
Interview
Applied using CV and Cover Letter.
Received an unexpected call from recruiter - did a short telephone interview. They should have given me notice or time to prepare rather than springing it on me. I asked her how many placement students they are recruiting - she said only 1 so I guess it was very competitive to actually get the placement.
I got an email a week - or two later saying I have been rejected.
