Candidate interview experiences
First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Transport for London.
Graduate Scheme
It started with an online application where I had to put in my personal info. Then there was an online assessment which gave feedback on my strengths and weaknesses. After that, I did another online assessment combined with a video interview, mostly asking about motivations and behavioral stuff. The final stage was an assessment centre.
- Can you tell me what you know about TfL and why you applied?
- What made you pick this graduate scheme and how do you think you can help TfL?
- Could you share an example of a learning and development opportunity you've had?
Finance Graduate Scheme
After an initial application, successful candidates received an invitation for a few assessments. These included a Situational Strengths test where responses to situations were ranked, and a 'G+' test combining numerical, verbal, and inductive reasoning. Practice tests were provided. The next step was a video interview with three questions: about your skills/attributes, why you want to join TFL, and an example of taking responsibility for your own development. The rejection email came quickly with feedback on the tests, but not the video interview.
- What skills and attributes do you possess that would be beneficial for this program?
- Can you explain your motivation for wanting to join TFL?
- Describe a situation where you took ownership of your own professional development.
Graduate Student
It went well, the person interviewing me was friendly and professional. They asked me to talk about my resume and some general things like teamwork and managing multiple tasks. They also inquired about my past work and university projects.
- How do you keep your data safe?
