    • Read the role descriptions carefully to understand which department will suit your skills and interests best as there are a lot of different opportunities. for assessment centres and interviews they're not looking for you to already have a lot of knowledge in missile design or defence, but a good grasp of relevant concepts and curiosity/an eagerness to learn.
