"I applied to Centrica because I saw they had a flexible-first policy. As a carer, it was difficult to kick-start my career as I needed to be at home most of the time. When I saw how inclusive Centrica's environment was and discovered the employee groups on their website included a carers network, I knew this was the right place for me."
"It is hard to pick the most enjoyable part of the internship as the entire experience was amazing. The amount of responsibility I was given, the willingness of all employees to help me learn, the ability to change teams and experience other areas of the business, the hard skills and soft skills I developed and the early careers team who really wanted to give me the best opportunity possible to start my career all contributed into making the entire year unforgettable."
"During the year I got the opportunity to develop my Excel skills and learn how to use PowerBi, SQL and Adobe Analytics to improve my data analytics skills. I also was given the opportunity to present in front of senior employees. I was able to transition into project management where I learned the importance of building strong networks. Centrica offers many free personal development programmes which I took advantage of to develop my listening and people skills. Ultimately this year gave me the opportunity to accept an offer of a full-time job here."
"Before you apply fully understand the reason why you want to work here, then just let your passion naturally flow during your interviews and assessment centre. Do your best to research all you can about Centrica and use your knowledge in your answers. Don’t stress too much. You don’t need to know everything as this is a placement role and Centrica wants to develop talent, so show that you are a team player and you have a desire to learn from mistakes just as much as from successes."
