Also, stupid question here but if you get interviewed early, do you get an offer early too? Or do they give all offers at the same time? (apologies if this has been answered already)


Most offers come in March, a few people get theirs just a couple of weeks after their interview.

Looks like you'll be coming in just as I finish. Yeah, I am on the tour although I doubt it's changed much from last year.

If I'm honest terribly, had mindblanks for some of the questions and was incredibly nervous. Didn't come across well at all.

Don't worry about it. My application was sent way before the 15th October deadline. My acknowledgement was dated for somewhere around the 8th of this month. There may/may not be a system, but because they get so many applications, maybe they do them all one at a time?

aaawwwww. at least if it was a letter i'd have another day thinking i might have an interview :tongue:

congrats though :smile:

there's a bunch of threads on here to look at for interview.

just know your PS inside out, think of things to say regarding experience.

practice answers to obvious questions and just generally being analytical and concise.
