Has anyone applied to one of the graduate schemes at BP? I’ve received invitation for video interview and wondered if I could get some guidance from someone who has completed one for BP.

BP's vid is mostly behavioral questions with one market question, nothing out of the ordinary

Honestly, I did not do as well as I had expected to on the tests but I passed the stage thankfully. The questions are easy I think but you have to answer them quickly. I mostly just struggled with time.

Asking for interview questions is at best risky, and at worst cheating - you have absolutely no guarantee that the people you ask for questions will be truthful; you are their competition, why would they want you to succeed? Practice standard competency-based interview questions and think about why you want this particular job, this should be standard interview prep anyway. These interviews aren't designed to catch you out.

I appreciate your reply.

I just did mine a couple days ago. I am not sure whether I could pass. They didn’t ask too much specific or tech focus questions( I guess that depends on the role).

Does it matter if you didn’t answer it long enough? The last question I only use like 1 mins to answer it but I managed to explain everything clearly

I think that should be fine as long as you answered the question well
