Same haha! I'm in my final year of A-levels :smile:

Yourself?

sweet
Im a university graduate, i doubt they would take me on the graduate scheme as I have poor A-level results so make sure you SMASH THEM, they are so important for high flying jobs.
I just sent my application through, how long till they got hold of you for the video interview and have you done it yet ?
fingers crossed for you bro

Use the two minutes before the question has to be recorded wisely, get a piece of paper right down key points and talk yourself through them so when you have to record it you seem confident and stuff! And not yet no they probably want people at least at uni so I'm pretty uncertain but either way it was a good experience :smile:

Well done, hope you ace it bro, i should have done mine earlier, I'm guessing it will be another 1-2 weeks till they potentially get back to me. What do you think the pay is ?

Yeah most likely, the website advises 16-21k with full company benefits so idk

Could you bulletpoint a few of the questions they asked?

Anyone who has completed the interview, do these questions correspond to which you have been asked with others?
other worse, do they ask the same questions for all, are they standardised.
