What happens after the interview and/or assessment centre for a finance graduate job?
Larger organisations may take some time to get back to you after an assessment centre or interview if they have a large numbers of candidates to assess. Ask at the interview what the next steps in the recruitment process are and when you should expect to hear from them. Don’t be afraid to get in touch with the organisation’s HR department if you haven’t heard by the appointed time. Not only will you demonstrate your enthusiasm and interest in the role, you’ll also be in a better position to handle multiple job offers if you’re lucky enough to receive them – and it does happen! If you do receive multiple job offers, the best policy is usually to be honest with recruiters. Some organisations actually offer a month’s acceptance period to ensure that candidates have the opportunity to attend other assessment centres if they want to. This allows graduates to make a more informed decision about the company and role that will suit them the most, which is in the best interests of all concerned
