Experience:

A candidate with a background primarily in Software Development and Cyber Security from their postgraduate studies, along with some older experience in VHDL and Xilinx FPGAs, was preparing for an interview at Rolls-Royce. The advice given was to be honest about the level of experience, particularly regarding digital design. It was suggested that the interviewers would likely be more interested in the candidate's software and security knowledge. Reviewing basic VHDL syntax was recommended, but extensive preparation in areas where the candidate had limited experience was deemed less critical. The overall sentiment was that the company would interview based on the submitted CV and cover letter, expecting a focus on the candidate's strengths.
