ESB Graduate Programme

starlit

I am thinking of applying to the ESB grad programme its to go on for 3 years and has a number of grad programme streams. I am between the IT and marketing one. Has anyone applied to the programme or applied to it before? How did you find interview/grad programme? For business grads woud they need to have a certain knowledge about the industry?

Did you get this confirmation email after completing the online test

We confirm that you have now completed all 4 assessments for the ESB graduate role and your results have been saved on our system.

You can expect to hear from us after the application process closes on Friday 24th October.

That's as much as I've heard from since completing the tests.

Hopefully we will hear back on results by next week.

I am in the electrical stream myself. Interviews began last Monday (17th), and as far as I know that was for all streams. They are still ongoing though at the moment as far as I know, but I think I was given about 5 days notice before my interview!

mudstack

Yeah, I wasn't all that hopeful, didn't think I did great in the tests. I have interviews for a couple of other programmes though so hopefully they work out!

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news! Good luck with the other programmes though! There's a good range of opportunities out there at the moment!

mudstack

Cheers, good luck with it yourself.

I got a phonecall this morning, have an interview on friday!

So have people been contacted about the Marketing stream yet then?

starlit

No I've heard nothing yet.

abaragry1

I've applied for the marketing stream as well. Will we hear back either way i wonder? Is there any assessment center or in it just a normal interview?

paulc2014

Anyone know when they will hear back after the interview for the electrical stream? Or how many jobs they are offering

I am not sure I assume once you hear you successful from them its an interview/assessment. I haven't heard from them yet whether successful or not. I've heard back from other grad programmes and not this one.

paulc2014

I had the interview monday 2 weeks ago! Was wondering how long anyone think until they get back to you?

starlit

Oh right. That's a long wait to hear back. Usually give them 2-4 weeks if not heard back I'd get in contact with them even to get feedback if they give it, if not after 4 weeks then it be a bit insincere if they didn't acknowledge you doing interview. Did they send you an acknowledgment email?

I had my interview for the marketing stream on Wednesday and as far I was know they're still ongoing!

starlit

Ok. How did you get on?

Rawlerc3

It went ok. They really put you through your paces with the competency based questions and they really want to hear about how you applied your skilled previously to marketing problems!

Interviews stop around 9th Dec, you might still get called. Did you apply near 24th Oct the closing date?

starlit

Ya I applied just before that date. If interviews ending the 9th of December I be lucky to get a reply from them at all. May not have done well in the tests when I haven't heard back. Maybe its a case first comes first served based on when applied?

They extended it to the 2nd of November based on gradireland but I had mine sent in by the 24th Oct.

You never know, i applied for the IT one on the 24th Oct (last day). I didn't finish all the questions in each test but made sure i took my time and got enough right. Anyway i'll wait and see how my interview went:pac:

I gave interview on 2nd Dec for IT stream. They asked about the past experience and general competencies based questions. However, I found their case study bit tricky because of time constraint.

I did the interview the day after you (Electric Stream). almost three weeks now. Did you hear anything back from them yet?

starlit

I'm not convinced I am going to hear anything I mustn't have done well in the aptitude tests.

Me neither, if the interviews were to finish up tomorrow then I think its a rejection email I be expecting.

I remember getting an email from a grad programme saying I was unsuccessful with interview I never sat an interview with them as they never invited me for an interview madness!:(:confused:

paulc2014

I actually did the interview this day 3 weeks ago but have heard nothing since?

WendyHuang

Me neither. No reply yet. Any others get their call back?
