Graduate account manager
Interview process
Online application followed by video interview. This part was the same as all others with a little touch of BT. The invited to assessment centre.
4 exercises: group exercise, one-to-one presentation, differential and a one-to-one interview.
Group exercise consisted of working as a team to create a presentation, and then present that to the assessors in a timed scenario.
Presentation was something pre-prepared by yourself, which had to be on the BT values.
Differential was a role play exercised aimed at suitability for the role.
Interview... well that was an interview.

Most difficult question
Most difficult task is the group exercise. Working with people that you met 10 minutes ago logically and as a team.
No difficult questions. There are no correct answers, assessors at BT genuinely want to know about you, not what google said was the best answer.

Interview tips
Be yourself, work as a team and don't try to fight to stand out. Prepare on aspects of the role that you could be questioned on. Look at and learn the BT values and make sure the company is the right fit for you.
