The competency interview surprised me as it was mainly questions about rolls royce, things like who are their customers, why rolls royce and things like that. I only had two competency questions at the end and i think one was about how i have influenced a decision or influenced someone. The psychometric tests were okay, they are very similar to the practice tests they send out so make sure you practice them. The group assessment was three different business scenarios that you would have to look at and pitch one of the ideas to the assessors. Unfortunately this task did not go well for me, i was put on the accounting part of the task, and at that point i should have made a point to change the role as accounting isn't my strongest point. Therefore this left me unable to present all the information that was needed regarding the finance and was quite embarrassing and frustrating. Make sure you work well as a team, but also make sure that you understand the task and work as a group to ensure that everyone is doing a role that they are comfortable with. I then had an application of knowledge interview, which asked a lot of questions about rolls royce, the share price, what things in the news cause challenges for the company, what factors effect the company, what do you think you would be doing on a day to day basis in the role etc.
