I made sure my CV included something about ESG (environmental, social, and governance) and green finance.

Expect a 1-2 day wait before advancing to the next stage.

Situational Judgement Questionnaire

Firstly, I was faced with a situational judgement questionnaire with around 100 questions! It took quite a while to get through.

Example

Expect typical, 'Tell me a time when' type questions.

How to respond for success

Practice talking through these types of questions with friends or family members. Make sure to answer honestly, don't answer how you think BP want's you to answer.
