Hi, which program did you apply for? I had mine for the the APEP degree program last Friday. In the motivational interview they try and find out why you want the job and your motivation for applying, and for the strength based one they ask you questions about challenges you've overcome in the past and how you would deal with different situations. The whole thing felt very informal and relaxing, all the interviewers were really nice and made you feel at home. Hope this helps

I hope it works out for me too because i always muddle up with what i say when im under pressure😭
I'm on the Jaguar Land Rover DTS Degree apprenticeship scheme. It's very good - good luck to you all. Just make sure you know about the background of JLR and able to answer why you want to do the apprenticeship scheme. Your also expected to demonstrate team work and problem solving skills. Good luck!

same with me, I've read loads of threads on here and I haven't heard anybody say if they've got an offer so I wouldn't be too worried. make sure you post when you hear from them!

Just take on board all the advice they gave at the prep session, the way the questions work is that they score you based on your answers with how much it relates to their company values. So make sure you look into their company values and work culture as thats what they are based on. Then try to have specific examples or cases that showcase those values and show how you fit in with that. When is your assessment centre?

Yeah i had to email just to make sure and they said they were finalising applications this week, it'd be good to check in on your application on careers as a few peoples applications have been updated on there before they received any email about their outcome, my one still hasnt been updated and i dont know anyone doing DTS whose been rejected or accepted but its worth the check
