Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to Cummins
Be confident in yourself and brush up on any technical knowledge you may be lacking on diesel engines as a whole before your interviews. Most of all enjoy your placement as it is only one year and gauge whether this is something you would want to do in the future or not.
