Write out an application form, answering questions about your extra curricular activities, positions of responsibility, teamwork, personal achievement, why Capgemini and why management consulting. This was followed within a week by an invitation to taking an online verbal reasoning test by SHL. After taking the test and passing, I was asked to a telephone interview, which occurred around 2-3 weeks later.
The 1:1 phone interview lasts about 40 minutes and focused on about 5/6 questions which include:
Do you know about the travel requirements of consults?
Tell me about Capgemini
Name a time you worked on a team with working habits different to yours, and how did you deal with them?
Describe a time when you communicated with different audiences
Can you tell me of a time when you had a new idea and developed this idea? How did you develop it and how did you implement it?
I was notified a week later that I had passed the interview, and was invited to an AC 3-4 weeks later.
A week before the AC they send you some information for a case study which you will have to present to a partner in 20 minutes.
The actual AC lasts around half a day, involves meeting Capgemini grads, a 30 minute group exercise (15 minute prep time to read over a lot of information). Then an interview with a partner (including the preprepared presentation and an on the spot case study), then finally a verbal reasoning test similar to the one you took in the first place (except with 2 extra questions for added difficulty/time constraint).
