Why?
Were there that many people there?
Maybe they aren't doing any more assessment centres, I wonder why they haven't sent out rejections yet if that is the case. Was everyone there for the gap year scheme?

To the people who went on Friday, i have a couple of questions (none that'll give me an unfair advantage of course)
Firstly, do they really reimburse you? Was it busy? I presume it was suits, ties and shirts, for guys? And no interview, just tests?
Very best of luck! If I get through to the next round, I look forward to meeting you

I meant the tests not assessment centres.

Was everyone there for the gap year scheme?No one talked to each other - waiting room and afterwards. Just silence and awkwardness. Doesn't seem like there is another day, we could only book one day. Odd, may do one in a week or so as the time span for the selection center is quite long.

we had a choice of 4 different time slots on that day. Don't know how many people went to each, I'm guessing few went to the 9:30 AM one, but no idea !
I remember you Tateco ! I really doubt that they would reject you ahaha so I'm sure there must be more rounds (:
Glad it's not just me, hopefully the pass mark will be fairly low then !
I don't know but seeing as they replied to our applications in 2 days, they're probably not that slow (:

Hmm, that's true they are speedy! My guess is midweek this week.

Yes, they do. Bring the details they ask for. Suit up, everyone wore a suit. Not busy at all. No interview.
Good luck! When is yours?

Thank you very much! Mine is tomorrow at 11:30. I'm going to head up a little early to make sure I know where I go from London Bridge
How do you think you did?Original post by WalkerPrince

I agree it was very awkward. Didn't really care cos I was half asleep after coming up from Manchester. But I liked the fact that the process was quick, not too much waiting around.

Wow how weird, mind you I can't expect that atmosphere would be buzzing with that kind of scheme...

sure the email didn't go into your junk ? :/
probably means nothing, loads of applications to go through, may go through them in alphabetical order or something equally random (:

not in the junk box...it would update on the online application though, right?
Original post by Tateco
I haven't heard either yet, guess we'll just have to wait and see.
When did you send your application? maybe theyre going through in that order?

Not early, but not late enough for me to expect that's what they're doing :P
Im surprised this is not more popular on here, this is one of the best schemes around from what i could see.
