So Yi: I think one of the most important tips when applying to our graduate and internship programmes is to apply as soon as possible and not delay your application.

So Yi: We only have limited places available in our programmes and this means that we process applications in the order that we receive them.

So Yi: So if you’re thinking of applying, give yourself the greatest chance of success and apply now.

So Yi: You can apply online via our NatWest Careers website, where you’ll find lots of information about the different programmes and the range of skills that you can develop.

Catherine: My next top tip would be to familiarise yourself with the assessments. So we know that assessments can feel daunting, especially if you haven’t completed them before. Familiarising yourself with the assessments can help you prepare but can also help you feel more confident for the real assessment.

Catherine: So before you start applying, give yourself the best chance to show your potential. And on our website you’ll find a section called Application Support, and this includes an in-depth look at what to expect and the assessments you’ll be required to complete.

Catherine: We’ve also provided some links to practise questions. We’d recommend you complete these alongside reading all of the guidance and information carefully to ensure that you’re familiar with the assessment process.

So Yi: There are also other ways you can prepare. So, for example, talk to friends and family about the process. So having that social support there as you begin the journey can really make a difference. And they might also be able to point you in the direction of useful resources.

So Yi: If you’re at university or have recently graduated, your Universities careers service might also be able to offer advice and practise assessments.

So Yi: You can also bring together a group of friends who are applying to different programmes, and you might find that a useful way to share advice, hints and tips.

So Yi: There’s lots of free resources that you can access on the Internet that you may also find helpful.

Catherine: Lastly, it’s really important that you take your time when completing the assessment. So all of our assessments have been designed to be completed flexibly, which means that they don’t all need to be completed at once.

Catherine: So feel free to take breaks in between if you need. Grab yourself a cup of tea and decompress before starting your next assessment.
