How did you get on? Hope it went really well for you.
I would love to know any interview questions you could remember as I'm hoping for interview for cyber in Preston, if you don't mind?

I think it went alright, especially for my first interview. I know I messed up on one of the final technical questions though and feel silly, though I did basically blank out. It was what would I do if my laptop got stolen from my car and I just said I'd call the police (partly correct but missed the important part which I realised as I left the facility)
Some of the behavioural questions I recieved were:
Why BAE?
What and apprenticeship rathe than uni?
Give a time when you worked in a team.
Give a ime when you did something innovative and new.
And then a couple more that I've forgotten. The technical questions were nice and touched on my knowledge (apart from that last one, which I had the right answer in my notes for and still forgot!!!).
It's over now so I just have to hope for the best.

I presume the bit you missed out that you're referring to is reporting it to BAE itself?

Yup, reporting to my manager and filing an incident report. Easiest and most important thing to remember in CS, and I still managed to forget it haha. They even like made it clear it had important schematics. Most likely gonna be the deal breaker to make me unsuccessful, I've been stressing that anyways

Hi everyone- first post on here :smile: I am in the middle of preparing for my upcoming live interview for higher apprentice supply chain and I am very unsure what are technical questions/what type of questions they might ask. Could someone please shed some light on this, because I haven't revised for this side of the interview yet due to my confusion.
Anyone heard a peep out of Preston yet? Getting so anxious waiting under consideration when I did my assessment the start of November. It seems other locations are starting to give out rejections and interviews.

Still nothing for Preston. Mine says the same. It’s making me go cuckoo as it just says under consideration still. Sent them an email and they just said they will let me know in the next few weeks!! Fingers crossed we hear back soon..

Must've been a lot of applications to Preston... the stress, it's already so competitive!

Preston interviews are next week. If they get bad interviews then maybe they'll offer you one too

i'm guessing some of the other behavorial questions were:
"Tell us about a time you stood up for something you believed in?"
"When you solved a problem"
"When you made a mistake"
"When you worked in a team"
In terms of technical q's, i think they ask why you chose your specific career path and why BAE

Only behavioural question from that list was the mistake one, and those technical ones were actually behavioural ones funny enough

the questions I listed were asked of me in the graduate interview. It might be different for degree apprenticeships.
For technical they asked me, tell us when you solved a complex problem, why you chose engineering, why BAE

So how many questions did you actually have in total?
I'm guessing 5 behavioral and 3 technical?

Around that I think yeah. I think possible I had 4 technical questions, but I did have a couple questions asked to expand my answers

The questions won't directly link to the behaviours, you need to incorporate the behaviour into your answer. So even if it's team building you can still mention integrity.
