For the phone interview I was asked the usual interview questions like why I applied; what is it about fdm in particular that appealed to me; what skills I can bring to fdm; and where my passion for IT came from. I was told on the spot that I passed and was given very helpful feedback on how my answers could have been better. I was then sent lots of helpful advice and links on how I should prepare for the assessment day which went well for me. Maths and Venn diagrams were never my strong point but after practicing a few hours I found the exams a doddle!

After applying for FDM’s Graduate Programmer position online, I received a response within one week inviting me to a 30-minute video interview with a graduate recruiter based in Singapore. The conversation covered my technical background, interest in the program, and flexibility for client placements post-training. I got my results within another week.
