Aspiration! ^ dat is.

I looked at the address, the HR guy told me it is at 135 Bishopgate,

I am guessing it is near Liverpool Street Station, however, the post code they gave me refer to an address at Farringdon!!

EC2M 3UR, is that the same on your application status?

EC2M 3UR is the postcode. Online mapping sites for some reason struggle to find some London postcodes with a letter after the number (WC1M, EC2M etc).

135 Bishopsgate is the GBM head office.

Thanks roussell,

It is very near to liverpool street station right?

[keithaw]

Heard that RBS replied about the trading AC last week. Rejection from him. Fingers crossed and waiting for the phone call

[Banachi]

[ghostrider88]

i can corroborate... keithaw's info is right, they are making calls today

[Banachi]

has anyone got an offer?

[max12475]

rejection :s I quizzed the HR guy, and he said they only made one offer from last weeks Trading AC

[Banachi]

so they dont even bother call us to tell us we are rejected, we have to quiz them?

[max12475]

No, he phoned this morning to say it was a rejection, and I asked him a couple of questions about what they were looking for. He said all the applicants were very similar, so they took the person with the highest score in the tests.

The fast-track test I believe, although I don't know why they placed such a high weighting on it if they have never used it before

[keithaw]

That test is stupid. I dont think they should base solely on that test to differentiate people.

i struggle to believe they just chose the person with the highest fast-track score... that's just unprofessional given it's such a pointless test. if it was the able i could just about understand. anyone else think recent gaps/rbs developments have forced rbs gbm to reconsider grad hiring nos?

[seem02]

Just had super trading today... ABLE test was....interesting.. though I can see why it is like that, it really tests your ability to internalise and apply methodology..

I have a sneaking suspicion they are going to differentiate us using the test.
