NGDP

Hey

Yes, I also received a voicemail this morning noting I am through to the AC which shall take place between 28 Feb - 1 March; this is the one I shall be focusing on the most!! At the same time I got an update from Deloitte (Corporate Tax route) that I have made it through to the AC/final interview stage.

Not heard anything back from Essex as yet.

The NGDP have started to shortlist for telephone interview stage, so am hoping to get an update from them soon.

Do the NGDP e-mail or notify unsuccessful applicants?

Ah - got an email saying they'd like a phone interview with me just yesterday. So yes, they're very slowly working through them all, it seems. :smile:

Hey

Thanks for the update. Another post mentioned maybe they are working through applications alphabetically in contacting potentials - this is going to sound strange but what's the first initial of your surname if you dont mind sharing :smile:

Well ... I hope that's not the case, because my surname starts with a C! :s-smilie:

I meant for initial shortlisting! If this theory is correct then I have some hope, as my surname is an 'L'.

Good luck with your telephone interview :smile:

surname A.. bum

They say no news is good news but I'm starting to think otherwise! Is the surname theory working out? Anyone with surnames beginning with letters at the end of the alphabet heard yet? Good luck to those with interviews.

I rang the number yesterday and spoke to a really nice girl who told me that my application was still being processed. My surname is in the first 1/4 of the alphabet, so don't give up hope. Maybe they aren't doing it alphabetically, but by when you submitted?

If you are concerned, ring the helpline number as they can check the status of your application. Don't bother emailing as I messaged them early last week, and still haven't heard back (and don't really expect to now).

Thanks for that. I emailed yesterday so will wait a couple of days before I call. I'm at the very beginning at the alphabet but didn't submit my application until the end of December. I was just getting anxious because others have said they've been contacted over the last couple of weeks. Hopefully we'll hear soon.

I was wondering if anyone has received news in the last fews days that they have a phone interview? If not, perhaps those of us that haven't heard are now unsuccessful. Anyone else out there waiting?

I'm still waiting, but my application was submitted on deadline and my surname is in the second half of the alphabet, so I'm remaining calm for the moment.

I wish they had updates on the website, or even via email, saying when we should expect to hear by. Judging by previous years, successful emails have been sent out by now. Fingers crossed...

Reply 37

I don't think I'd worry too much - they just get a lot of applicants! Fingers crossed anyway. :smile:

I definitely wouldn't sweat it. The timeline on the website says telephone interviews will be conducted throughout January and February, and we still have over a fortnight before the end of the month. There has been a record number of applications for practically every graduate scheme this year, so consider that as well. I know it's frustrating, but just try to remain calm.
If you are very worried, then please consider ringing the number as you can get an answer on the status of your application there and then :smile:
