Application Form Advice
Completing an online application form
Before you start making your application, you should thoroughly research our graduate programmes. Make sure you’re clear about the kind of career we’re offering and the kind of candidate we’re looking for.
The online application process for our graduate programmes has 5 stages:
- Step 1 – Choose a programme and register
- Step 2 – Your education
- Step 3 – Your employment history and work experience
- Step 4 – More about you
- Step 5 – Additional details
When you register with us for the first time, you’ll get an email confirming your user name and password. Keep these details – you’ll need them to log back in as a registered user.
Once you’ve started an online application, you can save it and return to it at any time. There is a "save" button on every page. Make sure you save your form before closing your browser, or your changes might be lost.
You will automatically be logged out after an hour’s inactivity, so save your changes before you take a break.
Tips for completing the form
Please take time to impress us with your application form. This is the first stage in our recruitment process, and what you write on the form will be the only information we have about you. It’s this information on which we base our decision to invite you to interview with us – or not.
Make sure that you spell-check the entire form and that you fully answer all the questions before submitting it. (Remember it's Capgemini not Cap Gemini.)
Save regularly. If your computer is slow or tends to freeze, it may be a good idea to save your long answers in Microsoft Word and paste them into the application form. After an hour of inactivity, you will be logged out of the application form and changes since your last save will be lost.
Don't forget to answer all the open-ended questions (especially those in the "About you" section). It’s these answers in particular that distinguish you from other applicants.
