What happens when?
On receipt of your application
The closing date for entry in 2010 has now closed. All applications for a training contract in 2011 must be received by 30th September 2009. If you have already sent us an application form we will acknowledge your application.
The short listing process takes place during the first week of October. During October, we will write to you and let you know how your application is progressing. Unfortunately, due to the sheer volume of applicants, we will not be able to give detailed feedback if you have not been invited for interview.
First Stage Interview – mid October
If you have been selected for interview, you will be invited into one of our offices to meet with our HR Manager and Training Partner Neil Turnbull. This will be a formal interview which will last for around 40 minutes and won’t require a presentation. We will then write to you to advise whether you have been successful. Again, we will be unable to give detailed feedback on the interview itself.
Second Stage Interview – first week in November
If you have been successful at the first stage, we will then meet all successful candidates for lunch. This is informal and is an opportunity for us to get to know you a bit better and for you to find out more about us. This will be followed by a visit and a tour of our offices, hosted by our current trainees. This will give you the opportunity to experience our culture and environment for yourself. We will then inform all candidates of whether they have been successful or not.
Offer Stage – Mid November
If you have been successful, we will write to you with a formal offer of employment, starting in the first week of September of the year you have been recruited for.
Prior to starting work with us
Before you start, we will get back in touch to arrange a get-together with some of our current trainees, so you can meet some friendly faces and get the low-down on what has been going on since your last visit. This should make day one a bit easier!
