MACH Graduate Programme 2016

Hey Clomper, congratulations for making it to the Skype interview stage. It definitely is hard to gauge how well it went or not because it was more relaxed than other interviews! From what I read in previous years there were ten people at the assessment centre. No idea how many Skype interviews they had but I imagine quite a few. When I needed to book a slot there was around 12 to pick from across two days...

I actually haven't received any kind of automated e-mail after my Skype interview. Not sure if I should be worried about that but they also made a mistake in the past emailing me saying I needed to send my application when I already did.

Good luck with your application and hopefully you have made it to the next stage! I don't find out till at least the 8th so I have to wait a while

Thank you so much for taking part in both the video interview and recent Skype Connection, we were impressed by your performance and as a result you are now being considered for assessment centre, the dates for which are currently being confirmed.

We really appreciate all of the time and effort you have put into the process to date. Due to the number of vacancies and the competition for our opportunities, we are unable to guarantee you an invite to assessment centre at the moment. Please be assured however your application is being considered and we will contact you again with further information shortly.

Hey Fumi,

Hope it went well for you! I enjoyed the experience no matter what happens. Hopefully this year they're taking a few more graduates on than previous years! Who knows?

The automated e-mail, which was only personalised by my name at the top, was as follows:



Hope to hear on Friday if I've progressed! Good luck once again!

I wouldn't worry Melissa, I did not feel mine went so well. It could be because I did my interviews at the earliest possible opportunity and I think I was doing them before the main rush. Another friend of mine who did his interviews nearer the rear end of the process did not receive one.

I really don't think it means anything because they have since interviewed a load more people who could easily be more suited than I am (I received this 2 days after my skype connection, and I took the earliest interview opportunities). In hindsight, I wish I took some later interviews because I thought the AC invitations would be rolling until all the spaces are filled (I had to change my PWC office location because it was filled - despite having my AC booked!) so I rushed to try and get in before it was full.

Keep positive, I hope a lot from TSR make it. In fact, this thread was the sole reason I made an account (having previously been a lurker).

Sigh I didn't get this email. Obviously means I didn't make it through
I got one for TFL but not this so means I didn't get through obviously

Heard nothing

I was told AC is on the 15th

I was told AC is on the 15th

Hmm, perhaps there are 2. She 100% told me 11th, but I suppose 2 makes sense because from my experience of other ACs there are only like 6-8 people.

I'll phone up on Monday, perhaps they can clarify the situation then

If you guys log on back to the Microsoft Application page, does it say under consideration for assessment centre?

yep

It's says "under consideration" but doesn't mention an assessment centre?

Mine says, under "Status": "Under consideration for assessment centre"

I don't understand all these discrepancies despite applying for the same scheme

This is all it says ;(

I have no explanation...

didn't hear from them today, will call them tomorrow. Anyone else had any luck?

Phoned up and they said the AC is on the 11th and they are in the process of sending invitations, which should be finalized by the end of Wednesday (9th)
