For all of you left in the dark about the video interview...I just completed mine and it was 8 questions - majority competency based with no technical questions for my specific programme (management). You get 1 minute to read the question and think about an answer. They then record your answer and you have 3 minutes but can stop the recording once you have finished your answer. There is no thinking time in between questions other than the 1 minute and you are not recording during this time.

How did you find it? Which programme did you apply for?

When I now log in to my account on GSK it says "Congratulations! You have passed the application screening stage. We will be in touch with an update for you on the next stage as soon as possible." Do either of you have this too?


I just got this, is it the video interview next? I'm applying for Communications :smile:
Does anyone know when assessment centres are meant to run? I'm getting impatient! haha
Hey guys, anyone else applying for sales and marketing? Passed the online assessment yesterday and waiting for them to contact me about a video interview or a rejection (hopefully not the latter) :smile:

Hey guys, I'm due to complete an online interview can anyone help me what kind of question should I tackle for preparation. Teamwork, leadership, etc? Thanks :smile:
Got an email update today thanking me for my patience and for completing their 8 question video interview. The first assessment centre will take place for 2 days (26-27 November) for the sales and marketing scheme but I imagine there will be other dates that run through to January/February for the other respective schemes. Fingers crossed!

Hey metroid. There was a 2 week gap between passing their online tests and being invited to a video interview and 1 week between completing the video interview and receiving the email update in my previous post. I guess each scheme would be subject to different timeframes though so don't worry if you haven't heard back as quickly as I have. Best of luck!
Ive applied to the RA programme and was told today that the assessment centre will be held over two days on 1st and 2nd December.

I dont have much hope of getting through though as my video interview was embarassingly awful!!

Hay Studentx123,

I did mine last Sunday (2nd Nov) and haven't heard back from them yet! Management too, thought my Sonru went reasonably well, (even THAT question -.-). I was wondering when you did yours, I rang them up as their emails are "undergoing maintenance" and they said just sit tight of course.

GSK have a rep of being terrible at getting back to applicants haha!

Hey! I did mine last Monday (3rd Nov) and got an email from GSK on the Friday (7th Nov). Weird they have emailed me and not you. All it said was thank you for completing the video interview and when the assessment centre will be if I am successful. Have you had anything from GSK or just the email from sonru?
Hi! I am just wondering if anybody has any more tips/advice on the Sonru interview! I'm pretty nervous about it :s-smilie:
