Toyota Business Graduate 2026

Hi everyone,

I applied for the Toyota GB Business Graduate Scheme a little over 3 weeks ago and honestly kind of forgot about it because I didn’t hear anything for ages. But today I suddenly received an email inviting me straight to the one-way video interview.

Just wanted to see if anyone else has applied this year and what your timelines were like?
Also thought it might be helpful to create a thread so we can discuss the process, support each other, and share updates as we go through each stage.

Feel free to jump in!

Yep received this too. I'm assuming they shortlisted candidates and sent them the invite. Surprised that there's 11 questions though usually I'm used to 5 at most for these types of one-way grad interviews

Nope, haven’t completed it yet. When I tapped the link, it took me to the interview page where they explained that the video would consist of 11 questions

Has anyone completed it yet? If so, what’s the structure of the interview in terms of how long we have to answer the questions + time to prepare

Hi, i've just completed mine. Dont worry, its not 11 video questions! Theres a few basic questions at the beginning just asking your graduation date, rtw status etc 🙂 I think there was around 5/6 actual questions but it wasnt too bad!

Hiya, what does it say on your email about a deadline as I have asked but not received anything. My email did not specify.
It doesn’t say anything on the email, but if you click on the link to start the interview, on the left hand side it says, what to expect- 11 questions, Time Remaining- 1 day till deadline. I will check the website at 00:00 to see if the deadline has changed lol.

It was strange. I didn't actually see it say how much time we had to speak at first until it cut off haha. But I think it was around 2 mins answer time. Prep time seemed unlimited but i'm not too sure. There wasnt a timer but I didnt spend too much time prepping so I couldnt confirm that for definite! Good luck though, as far as video interviews go, its not too bad! 🙂

I got an email today from Luke allowing me to do it after the deadline has closed because I've been too busy with my uni work. Hope you get an email too x
