The Application Process

Interested in a graduate opportunity but not sure how to apply? It's a simple four-stage process.

Check out our Top Tips and Frequently Asked Questions.

1. Application and eligibility form

First, we’ll ask you to fill in a quick form that tells us your basic details. We’ll use these to make sure you’re eligible for the programme you’re applying for.

2. Digital assessment

Next is your chance to show us what you’ve got. It starts with a video interview, where you’ll record your answers to five questions. Then you'll be presented with a logical reasoning game. From start to finish, this stage will take around 30 minutes.

3. Assessment centre experience

During this fully immersive experience, you’ll take part in exercises that feel just like working with us. You’ll meet a number of assessors and teams and complete three assessments – a one-to-one strengths-based interview, a role-specific exercise and a core exercise that will really get you thinking.

4. Offer

Within seven days of the assessment centre, we'll get back in touch. If you're successful, we’ll ask for a few more details and get your contract out to you as quickly as possible. We’ll then get you connected to all things Vodafone via webinars, quizzes, challenges, Q&As and a lively Facebook page. All of which will help get you energised for your first day.
