# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Upon submitting your online application, and provided you have met all of our minimum requirements, you'll be invited to complete an online numerical test.

You don't need to be a mathematician to succeed in this, it's purpose is to show us how you work with data, and make decisions using the kind of numerical information you might use when working here.

Please note: In order to maintain fairness, we reserve the right to re-test candidates who reach the assessment centre stage of the process when they visit our offices.

TIP: We recommend you do at least one practice numerical reasoning test first before completing the test. This will give you a feel for the types of questions asked and how long they will take you to answer. It's a great way to prepare, helping you relax and perform to the best of your ability.

Upon successful completion of the online numerical test, you'll be invited to complete 4 competency based questions. These questions will assess you against our 8 competencies (set out above) and we'll be looking for specific examples of when you have demonstrated them.

Examples could be from (but are not limited to) your time at university/school, work experience such as part-time jobs at school or university, or any extracurricular activities you've been involved in.

TIP: Each question has a 250-word limit, allowing you to provide detailed examples. We don't have a minimum word limit, but answers which are very short are unlikely to demonstrate the behaviour we are looking for in sufficient detail, so be sure to write a reasonable amount.

Please note: all 4 competency based questions carry equal marks. We are always impressed by people who are enthusiastic about the work of the NAO and how they feel they can contribute to it, so we would encourage you to do some research and think about how you picture yourself working with us.

Once completed, your answers are marked by our trained screeners. If you meet the minimum mark required, you will be progressed to Stage 2.

We aim to contact you within three weeks of your competency submission to tell you if you're proceeding to Stage 2. We will let you know if your application has been unsuccessful, however due to the large number of applications we receive, we're unable to provide specific feedback on applications that are not put through to the next stage.

Those who successfully complete the on-line application form and numerical reasoning test and have met our initial criteria, will be invited to a Stage 2 assessment. This involves a 45-60 minute telephone interview, and the opportunity to ask your questions about the scheme.

TIP: You may find it helpful to review some tips on preparing for telephone interviews.

If you're successful at Stage 2 then you'll be invited to the final stage of the process, which will include a number of individual and group exercises, as well as an interview, all assessed against the NAO's 8 competencies (listed above). The assessment centre will last a day, but we'll provide you with lunch and refreshments. You'll also have the opportunity to speak to some of our current trainees and to ask any questions you might have.

TIP: Our Graduate Blog has plenty of valuable insights which will help you throughout the application process, but by clicking here you will be able to get hints and tips on our assessment centre from people who were successful in it so be sure to take a look!

Offers are conditional on a number of pre-employment checks including: security vetting and verification of your academic grades entered on your application. You will be notified shortly after the assessment centre as to whether or not you have been successful.

Retail Management Apprenticeship (Level 4)

Our Management Scheme for School Leavers is evolving. We're investing our decades of experience in developing people. You'll get to experience every conceivable aspect of how a store operates, from supply chain to sales floor, and learn all about our branding and customers.

The importance of retail in our communities is clearer than ever. Throughout the pandemic, we've been serving the nation, whilst transforming the business on a record scale. The sweeping innovations we're rolling out at M&S will define a new era of retail. And we want you to help us introduce them to our customers. As part of the team in-store, you'll help us transform the business on a record scale simply by showing everyone how creating the perfect customer experience can change M&S for good.

Throughout your programme you'll get to experience retail in real time. Food; Fashion; Home; and Store Operations. Managing £multi-million budgets. Learn how to be a leader and gain the skills to get the best from a team. All this and more is part of the package. You'll be coached and mentored throughout by our retail management experts. We'll expect you to work a mixture of shifts covering early mornings, evenings and weekends so you see the full operation of the store and most importantly be on the shopfloor with our customers during our busiest trading windows. And by the time you've finished, you'll be ready to take on the role of a Manager and responsibility for a team and department. Those based in England will also obtain an industry recognised certificate in Retail Management through completing a Level 4 Retail Management Apprenticeship.

To be eligible for the scheme, you must have completed A-Levels or the equivalent qualifications. When you apply, you'll be asked to complete three online assessments, which include ability and psychometric tests. These should take you around an hour and a half to complete. On successful completion of the tests, your combined score will be assessed. If you're successful, we will be in touch to invite you to one of our assessment centres.
