No OfferNeutral ExperienceDifficult InterviewRoyal London 2009-07-07 06:55 PDTApplication
The process took 4+ weeks. I interviewed at Royal London (Edinburgh, Scotland) in May 2009.
Interview
The whole interview process took over a months time . The first round was core technical and was taken by an external consutant who are Subject Matter Experts in this field. The interviewer had good questions and was based on basic concepts rather than knowledge of tools. Second round was the Behavioral Competency round and after attending so many interviews and getting stuck in this round I have failed to understand what the interviewers are looking for in these questions.

Extremely NEGATIVE experience!!! Had first round interview, got a call within few days to say I got through to second and final stage. A whole 12 days later, a second call to say that actually you didn't get through to second round as there was stronger candidates. Extremely unprofessional behaviour!! Would NOT recommend!!!

Application
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Royal London (Edinburgh, Scotland).
Interview
I was given a 'coffee chat' a quick look over my CV and few questions to see if I had the right attitude. This was actually the toughest stage as I was challenged in my answers a lot. The next stage was presentation on how I would increase business within my first 6 months, role play with an 'IFA' followed by another panel interview. This was a pleasant experience for myself, my advice would be to make sure you read brief correctly, think outside the box with role play & be yourself.

I applied through other source. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Royal London (Edinburgh, Scotland) in August 2016.
Interview
initial telephone interview then face-to-face competency based interview with senior manager, trainer and a sales manager. Then role play over conference call - complete Factfind to financial advisor upon first contact with them. Lastly completing a presentation on a brief of their choice. Mine was how I would get my panel of advisors to increase business with Royal London over a 6 month period and how I would ensure we would partner up with these businesses over a longer term.
