I'm sorry to hear that, there's always next years and now you know what to expect for next time.

If you don't mind me asking, were the tests anything like the practise ones they gave in the email? and did they ask any funny interview questions?

There is a single test.

• You get a booklet with different paragraphs on and a answer booklet.
• Multiple choice questions.
• They ask questions about the text and just answer it.

Its a lot easier than the online tests but you have to be fast as there is about 30 question in 10 minutes.


The interviews are jus at mainly 'name a time when'

Thanks I appreciate that.

make sure you read it carefully as well.

I will cheers, did they give you any sort of feedback after the assessment? I know they dont at earlier stages but at assessment centre stage you'd think there are few enough candidates to be able to give some.

Well I hope this helps me. Got mine tomorrow in York.

Mine was fine tbh. Just back to the waiting game for a bit while they decide...

How did it go??

 

[DanielD]

Not as bad as I thought it would, I actually relaxed a lot during the interview. The two fellows who interviewed me were very nice, it didn't feel too formal. The test was ok, I had time to correct a few answers I had wrong. I was likely a little too quiet and unassertive in the group exercise but there's not much I could do about that, its just the way I am.

I guess we will both see soon either way eh?

I'm sorry to hear that mate, dont give up, give it another bash next year. Remember to email them to ask for feedback on the assessment day too, it will help you out next time or in anything else you apply for.
