The Selection Day

Be yourself

We can't stress this enough. There is no point in simply telling us what you think you should be saying or learning answers by heart. We hire people because we believe their personality will flourish here, so pretending to be someone you're not won't do you any favours. 

Make the most of it!

The selection day is designed to give us a realistic picture of you and your abilities - to find out exactly what makes you tick and see if you possess the innovative drive and ambition to help propel Unilever to greater heights. Just as importantly, it will also give you an insight into the way we work.

Interviews are a two-way process

So feel free to ask any questions at any stage.

Be engaging & enthusiastic!

Take your time answering questions, a brief, well thought-out answer is far better than an immediate flow of waffle.

There are no right or wrong answers

We avoid using closed or leading questions. You should answer each question honestly and realistically. Give us the answers that reflect your thoughts and your individual experience of life. That is the only way we can accurately establish if you are the right fit for Unilever and vice versa - just let the conversation describe you.

Questions will be based on situations you have experienced

Be prepared to give real life examples. Think widely about the roles and responsibilities you have had to date and your achievements whether in a social, academic, work or community context.

Build up an understanding of the business & your area of interest

Whilst this is an important part of the recruitment process, try not to get too stressed about it, and don't forget to smile!
