I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Tata Steel (Shotton, England) in Sept 2014
Interview
I applied online for the graduate position and after getting accepted into the recruitment process I had to go through a set of psychometric tests which involved a numerical and a logics test. Then a telephonic interview based on competency questions and then a final stage where I had to attend an assessment centre at Shotton, North Wales, this involved a 20 minute presentation, a 1 to 1 interview and finally a group task. The company seemed quite streamlined towards getting the most efficient candidate and everyone I met there from HR was quite friendly. There was also a tour of company grounds.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The questions were not hard to answer, it seemed that they were looking for a specific type of individual and not college grades or experience. Some of the questions included Tell me what you know about material science? How is steel made? What does galvanize mean? How did you develop your communication skills?
