Farm Foods graduate scheme

Hey! Just wondering if anyone has ever done the graduate scheme for farm foods? What were they looking for in your presentation? What was the interview like? Thanks!

Hey! I've applied for the graduate scheme and not really sure what to do the presentation on :s-smilie:
I study human nutrition so thinking of doing something related to health or something.
What are your ideas for your presentation?

Thanks! :smile:
Hey :smile: I've applied too! Does anyone know where the assessment centre is? Or when the scheme started? There seems to be no information at all online for it!
Also I studied literature so Im thinking of doing either my dissertation novel from aspecific angle or one on the versatility in literature. I am worried aboutdoing something completely unrelated to anything retail related, but I guessits all about showing presentation skills isn’t it?

Hey yeah the topic is not that relevant I don't think it's how you present :smile: well I'm hoping!

I've looked too and there's nothing on about farmfoods grad scheme. I think it would be glasgow or cumbernauld if your from scotland that is!

I'll post in when I get my date and what the location is :smile:

Thanks :smile:I'll do the same. I have to say I'm nervous about it. I dont think I'd be too bad if they'd given us examples :P

Well I have to wait to hear back from Michelle now to see if I can continue with my application as google decided it wasn't going to send my presentation and not save it in drafts!!! Only noticed when looking through my sent messages!
Im in the North East. About 30 miles from Durham which is great :smile:
And oh no Gembo! Did you email and explain?

I wonder how many there are around the country. Considering how little information there is online it must be a fairly recent scheme. Not sure if thats a benefit to us or not :P
