Long-winded and challenging process taking place during graduates' final year of university. Multiple steps and evaluations including language assessments, verbal and numerical reasoning, self-recorded video interview, assessment centre and final interview with presentation and Q&A.

There were online skills assessments, then an assessment centre and finally an interview. In the assessment centre we were given a case study and then had to work in groups to complete the task. After this, we had two individual tasks - one to present what the group had decided, and another to write an email summarised what the group had decided. At the interview, I had to give a 10 minute presentation on any client I wanted that was looking to export into any market I wanted. I had to talk about the key issues they would face, the key factors to consider, and how Enterprise Ireland could help them. There were then some competency based questions on Deciding & Initiating Action, Working with People, and Planning & organising.
