I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Buro Happold (London, England) in July 2013
Interview
Filled in an online application and was called in for a face-to-face interview with a manager. Format of the interview was fairly informal, had to do a 10 minute powerpoint presentation on future building services issues.
No real technical part to this interview, seemed more like them assessing how you would fit in with the team and making sure you could communicate ideas.
