I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at FWD (London, England) in June 2011
Interview
Phone interview, conference call with head of PR. Very easy going, I felt comfortable answering the questions. But make sure to get to the point quickly and efficiently. Use specific examples, quantify outcomes. Make sure you know a bit about the asset management and insurance industry (their main clients) and be open to doing professional qualifications such as CIPR certificate and IMC (investment management certificate)

Interview
The interview process was very chill and relaxed. It felt more like an informal conversation rather than a strict question-and-answer session. The interviewer focused on getting to know me better, discussing my experiences, interests, and personality in a comfortable and friendly way.

The interview process consists of two rounds: the first round is an HR interview focusing on behavioral questions to assess your personality, communication skills, and cultural fit, with typical questions about your work style, challenges, and motivation. The second round is with the department head, where the discussion centers on your resume and professional experience, including detailed questions about your previous roles, projects, and how your background aligns with the position and the team’s needs.
