    Wow they just called me on my mobile and booked me in for an interview. I had no idea it involved jobs or voluntary work, I just wanted some extra funding! Haha, now I have no idea what to do.

    I think Lloyds Bank has found a way of getting itself promoted and advertised to local communities and university students on the cheap.

    You'll find out soon enough if you did well enough though! Which University are you going to? Bristol or Sheffield? And what course? I'm going to Bristol to do Economics & Finance.

    It was okay, I think They will tell you more about what is involved nearer the time. You do a competency-based interview, a group exercise and a case study.

    You will find out a lot more about the scheme, and how good it really is. There seems to be a lot of potential to be reached if you win it. But I was surprised at how tiring the day was though!

    I enjoyed the day nevertheless. It was also a good opportunity to meet other candidates going to the same uni as you, and it's a great experience in preparation for the future if you are planning on applying for graduate schemes etc.

    Good Luck!
