Telephone interview. Half-day assessment centre in a Capgemini office, for your specific graduate scheme. Telephone Interview [Edit] The Capgemini telephone interview lasts for approximately 30 - 40 minutes . Questions may include: Give me a 2-3 minute overview about yourself. Why did you choose Capgemini/Consultancy? Are you aware of the travelling involved in consultancy and do you think you can deal with it?

Final telephone interview questions may include:

Have you applied elsewhere? Do you have interviews/AC's elsewhere? Are there any dates that you can't make over the next three months? Candidates are usually told if they have been successful at this stage within 72 hours. Assessment Centre [Edit] A Capgemini assessment centre is usually as follows: Meet an existing graduate. Manager interview: Case study review (prepared prior to the assessment centre). A short on the spot case study review (Management Consulting only). Psychometric test. Group exercise. CDC Management Consulting Assessment Centre [Edit] The CDC management consulting assessment centre consists of: Verbal reasoning SHL test. Group exercise. Prepared case study. Partner interview (including business scenario case study discussion). Group Exercise For the group exercise you will sit with other candidates in a small room of fou r to six people with two capgemini assessors. You are then given 15 minutes to r ead a great deal of material (skim-read this to find out the important bits) and then 30 mins to complete set tasks. Make sure you say things that are construct ive and intelligent. Partner Interview The partner interview at Capgemini is vigorous. This is where you discuss your p repared business case study and also complete a separate "on the spot" business scenario test/case study. BTC Assessment Centre [Edit] The BTC graduate scheme assessment centre is as follows: Manager interview (including case study). Verbal reasoning and Diagrammatic reasoning test. Group exercise on case study. Manager interview This interview is mainly an in-depth discussion about you, your education and un iversity experience and competency based questions about teamwork, leadership an d career motivation. Questions previous candidates have been asked include: Describe a time when you have not achieved something and been disappointed What do you think would be the most annoying things about consultancy? Describe a time when you have triumphed in the face of adversity Describe a time when a group you were working in was not working. What did y ou do? You could be asked about how current affairs may have an affect on the compa ny. Diagramatic Test

The diagrammatic reasoning test is a series of shapes and processes which change these shapes. Group Exercise For the group exercise you must work as a team, rather than competing with the o ther candidates at the assessment centre. Make points in relation to finance, et hical issues, community involvement, employment rates, etc. Your group exercise may be about a factory relocating to a new place, or expandi ng at their existing location. It may be advantageous not to volunteer as the pe rson that writes on the whiteboard during this exercise, as this will distance y ou from the group and you will not be involved in the discussions as much as you should be. However, you may be able to demonstrate leadership skills if you do volunteer to be in control of the whiteboard - but make sure you are as involved with group discussion as you can be. If you find that you are all agreeing on the same place try and choose the other place and justify your reasons. They are looking for people who are not afraid to be challenged and can articulate well in an argument, but dont take it too fa r as then you may be seen as being overly argumentative.
