SEO London IB Summer Internships 2011

Hello everyone.

Since SEO is sort of it's own lil charity organisation, I thought I'd just make a separate thread about it. Deadline for the summer internship is coming up, and I'm wondering if anyone has heard much? I applied about 1 month ago, and yesterday I got an invite for the numerical test. Completed it today - and have had no rejection but no invite to any verbal (though I've been told there isn't one). Does anyone know around what time interviews would start happening or anything? Any info is appreciated!

Peace guys ^^'

So did you ask them about the recruitment process and when they get back to people after having done the numerical and verbal test?

I did numerical test last week and I applie 1 or 2 months ago. How comes some people have done verbals and some haven't? That's weird.

Yeha looks like I am the only guy so far having done a verbal test... But did you all guys do your tests through SHL? Cause if yes I wonder why I had to do a verbal and not you guys..
Different tests for different programs.

I guess IBD= Verbals as well

Weird considering, you'd think Sales would be a role more relevant to whatever the 'verbal' test.. does.. or whatever.. you get my drift
Hey guys,

I read on the SEO website that they recommend on a rolling basis. Is this in fact accurate because as far as I'm aware, we won't get phone/personal interviews till December/January. I'm probably asking this, question because I'm an idiot for leaving the submission of my application till tonight (I can't stop refining, it's like a medical condition!) but any insight/relief anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

From my experince and what I can understand from ppl here they do not really seem to recruit on a rolling basis, since many has already done the verbal and numerical tests ages ago without hearing anything back so...

Thanks khaddi. Good luck :smile:
Phone interviews for professional services have already started. I have heard of a few who have had them already. Also verbal tests are only for professional service and (i think) IBD. Antone got a reply after completing test(s) for roles in IB?
