Application Process & Interviews at DHL

Online submission, Open day, online interview, panel interview, psychometrics and drug testing, offers. This process is pretty standard but from start to end will take about 5 months, very annoying to be part of as a graduate when you are turning down other opportunities in the hope to secure this one.

I found it wonderful and creative. I enjoyed it.

My experience was very quick and simple. Video interview was required, shortly after this was followed by a group interview and then an individual presentation followed by a panel interview with questions.

it was okay, i understand the process so that the company hire the correct candidates which was - phone interview - group interview - presentation / interview

What do I do first thing when I get home after a difficult day of work? I enjoyed this as it focuses on the way a person reacts to difficult situations and whether they are able to balance themselves.

Why do you want to work in the Supply Chain Industry? Why DHL?

I was asked to do a presentation. and was asked questions from the presentation and about my experience.

From memory it was pretty stock standard interview, the typical explain a time you went above and beyond, why this company and why this role.

Graduates need to ask more questions about the experience here and voice their values and career goals early as much as possible to avoid being pushed into areas of the business they do not desire. Get all in writing. NETWORKING is your best friend. People are wonderful. Be curious and learn about different areas of the company to work out where you would enjoy beginning a career. Keep in touch with mentors and HR representatives. There is nothing wrong with asking for advice and tips to navigate.

Have an understanding of the importance of the supply chain industry and show passion for the work we do. An understanding of digitalization and automation technology would also be a helpful talking point for the panel interview.

Speak up. If you dont speak up during a group interview how will you stand out?

For prospective candidates i would advise them to think very carefully about the compromises of big experience versus working condition. The company knows they have greater opportunity and they pay less than the competitive rate for this role. In relation to preperation - be yourself, if you dont make the interview phase based on your character you will be weeded out very quickly.
