TIPS FOR SUCCESS

 

We really want you to do well. So here are a few hints to help you with your application.

 

Be yourself. Don’t try to be something you’re not or something you think we want you to be. Who you are is good enough for us.

 

  • Take your time. You might have a lot on, but we believe in getting things right. So, relax, and set aside enough time to complete the application.
  • Find somewhere quiet to fill in the application form. Read the questions carefully, and just be yourself. Don’t overthink it. Just give it your best shot.
  • Show your passion – for your future and for food! We’re full of energy, enthusiasm, and ambition. We want you to be too!
  • Not sure about something? Contact our Early careers Team by emailing: EarlyCareers@Bakkavor.com
  • If you are invited to virtual assessment centre, take some time to research us and the function that you've applied for, and think about why you want to join us.
