Candidate interview experiences
First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at British Airways.
Intern
They gave me plenty of room to think about my answers and asked questions that were relevant to the role and potential future jobs at British Airways. They specifically asked about leadership qualities and any work I felt proud of.
- Can you share an instance where you demonstrated leadership qualities, and describe your leadership style?
- Tell me about a piece of work you are proud of.
- What are your thoughts on leadership qualities and potential future roles at British Airways?
Intern
The interview process involved a form filling stage, followed by an online video interview with 2 questions, each lasting 3 minutes. Candidates had unlimited preparation time and three attempts to re-record their answers. The final stage was an assessment centre.
- Tell us about a project or achievement you're particularly proud of. Specifically, mention at least two skills you utilized that would contribute to success in the Future Leaders Graduate Scheme at BA.
- Describe your leadership style. Share an instance where you inspired someone through your leadership, providing context, the reason for your chosen style, and the outcome.
Placement
applied online then did online tests, then more questions and tests and cover letter questions. If successful, the next stage is an Assessment centre. There are 10 placements available and around 16 applicants in each applicant day (I think there were at least 3 applicant days). The Assessment centre had a group presentation, more psychometric tests, and a personal presentation that led into an interview.
- Were you asked competency based questions?
- Tell me about your competitors.
- Tell me about your achievements.
