    Do, you don't know until you get there! I would not say so, it is probably just to outline how the day is organized (how they facilitate for mass amounts of people being interviewed etc)

    Hotels are going cheap for about 50 bucks the night before - might be an option
    I'll probably just give it a miss so doesn't sound like it'll make much difference one way or the other

    Hi there, just been called for testing and first round interview on the engineering stream on the 19th November. Anybody from any other streams have any advice? I know the theme is "Pure Ambition" and would imagine the first round interviews will focus on displaying this? All help greatly appreciated

    Oh right sounds fair enough, the interview I have on the 19th is only a first round so I'm imagining be mostly focus on my CV and back ground. Have they carried the the theme of "Pure Ambition" through the question? Thanks again in advance :P

    Well both my rounds happened on the same day but the second round is more like a chat about your future aspirations.
    Yes they did ask "Pure Ambition" based questions such as what type of leader you are? Do you embrace change such as travelling away on short notice? etc Just be yourself and know some current news about glanbia such as the new gluten free factory just built.

    Has anybody received an offer for the IT grad programme yet? They said that the offers are today (25th November) but a few of us haven't heard a thing yet.

    ,
    Thanks

    Best of luck with it -I hope it goes well, What one did you apply to??

    It's more r less competency questions, + why the program, + explain what you have done so far basic enough

    bonne chance

    Sorry to bump this up, has anyone heard back from their interviews yet?how long should I expect a result?
    I had mine last week for the IT Business Analyst, it went really well however I'm getting a few calls about positions elsewhere. I really like the role and development plan set out by glanbia ahead of those who have contacted me. I dont want to loose out on potential opportunities either tho

    What ever you do don't rely on getting this job. Glanbia are notorious for the who you know, to get a position . I applied years ago for IT positions that I'm well qualified for and not even a reply . Keep on applying for other positions and best of luck:)

    They are notoriously bad at getting back to people. The HR process takes forever, almost 6 months back when I was hired there. Word of warning - whether or not that development plan will materialise will be completely based on the department you're placed in. Best of luck!
