I've got me a telephone interview for a LogicaCMG graduate role soon, I've been told I'm being considered for a Space and Defence role so was wondering if anyone had any experience of what they tend to focus on in their telephone interviews?
Microsofts telephone interview is a pretty basic 10 minute affair where they ask you about a time when you worked well in a team, provided good customer service, how you are innovative, all in all about 5 or 6 questions on your character.
Now, this LogicaCMG interview is going to be a 30 minute jobby, does anyone in the know or with previous experience of their telephone interviews know what they tend to ask about? Would it be your technical skills as well as soft skills and experiences, or would they focus on basic experiences and soft skills like the Microsoft interview? Will they ask about the Space and Defence sector (this sector was chosen for me as I selected the "Let logicaCMG decide the ideal sector for me/I don't care which sector I'm in," or something to that effect)?
The reason I ask is that the roles vary widely depending on where I am placed within the company (e.g. support, development or consultancy) but, it would be great to know whether they want to know what technical knowledge I picked up from my degree, in which case it's time to hit the books again!
TIA
