Application
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Robert Bosch (Denham) in Mar 2014
Interview
Once submitting my CV, I was invited to attend an assessment day. This was held in a hotel close to the head office in Denham. The day consisted of three group tasks and finished was 1:1 interviews. Within the group tasks, a brand manager from each brand was present, over a lunch break they decide who they would like to interview. Therefore, it is possible to have multiple 1:1 interviews in the afternoon. I was also asked to prepare a short presentation on anything I had achieved, however I believe for the assessment centre the following year they removed this element.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The majority of questions were quite normal and to be expected in an interview. It is wise to understand a little about each brand area and think of reasons why you would want to work for their brand specifically. Furthermore, acknowledging their competitors and recent marketing activity would be advantageous.
