Applied online and received a phone call offering a phone interview a few days later. Agreed a time for the interview, and was told roughly what the interview would involve. Phone interview itself involved a discussion of my CV and application form, followed by three competency-based questions. I was told the outcome straight away and received an email invitation to assessment centre. Assessment centre was a half-day (10am-3pm) in the main offices. First hour was an introduction; icebreakers followed by a short presentation about the Bank, followed by a 1hr group planning exercise in a group of four. After this there was a 30 minute written exercise, and finally a 1hr one-to-one interview with a member of the Bank. The final interview followed the same format as the phone interview, but longer and in more detail. I was asked 9 competency-based questions. Once this was completed, we were given a chance to talk to some of the current interns on the programme and ask questions. Staff were very friendly and helpful throughout the day, and the process was fairly relaxed.
