Together we make it possible.

If you're thinking of applying for a role at Lloyds Banking Group, conducting your own research on the Group and the industry as a whole will strengthen your application and allow you to tell us exactly why you would be the best fit for the role. Typically you should expect to complete an online application and if successful, be invited to interview.

Depending on the role you’re applying for you may be subject to the Senior Managers or Certification Regime (SMCR). This means that any offer of employment will be dependent on confirming you meet the regulators standards for honesty, integrity and reputation; competency & capability and financial soundness.

Essentials before the video interview

  • Experiment. Familiarise yourself with the video platform, use it with friends/family to ensure the camera and audio are working with no technical issues.
  • Connection. Make sure you have a stable internet connection. 
  • Remove Distractions. Close web pages and applications, and turn your notifications off. 
  • Devices. Ideally you would use a laptop, but you can use your tablet/mobile phone. Ensure the device is plugged in and fully charged.

Other things to consider for your video interview

Punctuality

Aim to be ready at least 5 minutes beforehand so that you have time to relax and prepare.

Backgrounds

Set up your camera so that it's facing a neutral background, with any distractions removed.

Dress code

Dress appropriately, as you would for a face-to-face interview.

Eye contact

Look directly into the camera and make eye contact with your interviewer to show you are engaged.

Drink

Make sure to grab yourself a drink, you are welcome to bring it along to the interview.  

Noises

Use a room where there is minimal background noise or chance of being disturbed. 

Positioning

Position yourself so that you are in the centre of the screen.

Be yourself

As with face-to-face interviews, video interviews can help showcase you, your skills and personality. It is important that you be yourself and do not let virtual reality obscure who you are in real life.

Lighting

Check that the room has good lighting and that your face is clearly visible.

Calls

If using a mobile phone, divert any incoming calls to voicemail to prevent distraction.

Audio

Consider using headphones for better audio quality.
