Can you send me an application form in the post?
Unfortunately we don’t accept paper-based applications, as part of our assessment includes an on-line numeracy test. All applications should therefore be made on-line. However, in exceptional circumstances, we can send you a paper form. Please contact the graduate team if this is the case graduate.enquiry@lloyds.com
What provisions do you make for graduates with a disability?
We judge applicants purely on their ability – nothing else – and we work hard to help those with disabilities as much as possible. There’s a section on the application form where you can tell us if you need special help at any stage of the recruitment process, and give us details of any disability, so we can endeavour to meet any needs you may have. Also, please do email us if you need any further assistance graduate.enquiry@lloyds.com
How soon will it be before I have an interview?
We aim to respond to applications within seven working days of receiving them. At this stage, you’ll be told whether or not you’ve been selected for a telephone interview and given a time and date when this will take place.
How long will my interview take / when will I finish on the day?
The telephone interview should take no more than 30 minutes. The assessment centre, meanwhile, will be over two half-days (an afternoon plus the following morning). We’ll provide you with overnight accommodation. We’ll send you more details should you be invited to the assessment centre.
Will Lloyd’s reimburse my travel expenses?
Yes – but make sure you keep the receipts as we’ll need them to process any expenses.
What is involved in the first interview?
Your interviewer will go through what's involved before the interview starts. The first interview will be based on the recrutiment competencies show in the Apply Now section. We may also ask you about some of your responses to the online application form and ask you to elaborate on your answers a little more. You’ll also be asked a few more questions to help us assess the other qualities we’re looking for.
What is involved in the aptitude tests?
We’ll be testing for numeracy and verbal reasoning skills in the online tests. If you’d like to have a go at a similar test before you take the real one, visit the SHL website (link opens in a new window).
When can I expect to receive an offer?
Assessment centres are scheduled to take place between December 2008 and February 2009. Offers will then be made about five working days after each assessment centre. We recruit as we go, so we’d recommend that you get your application in early to avoid disappointment.
What is the closing date for the 2009 Graduate Development Programme?
Our final closing date is 31 January 2009; however, we strongly advise you get your application in early, as we may need to close applications if we become oversubscribed.
