I haven’t yet either. It says in late January, but I wasn’t sure if they meant the interviews are held then or that’s when we’ll be invited?
No I haven’t ! I’m hoping it’ll be any day now x

I have as well! They’re usually things ranging between pitching an original story, feedback on a post/article etc.

Hope that’s helpful! Good luck ☺️

I just realised that obviously everyone has applied to specific locations! So maybe the locations have different questions too?

The deadline is Feb 1st so I’m depending on how long they take to review them all. I’m hoping it’ll be like 2 weeks or so after so we have time to prep if we end up getting through!

I’m hoping that’s the case too! I guess it depends on how they asses that stage as well, I noticed in the prompt after submitting that they use a number of data points to asses our application and decide if we’re successful? So I wonder if it’ll be a quicker process.

I have a feeling it’ll be nearer to the end of this month we’d hear back? Though the fact each application is now narrowed down to specific locations, they may have more people reviewing, so would take less time?

Last time I applied, I got through to the final stage and it was a very long process - though, you didn’t apply directly to a different location you just noted a preference. So all applications went to the same place, I imagine.

A lot harder to pick through! That’s only a theory of mine haha.

Hey guys 👋 I’m a little nervous about the video interview and I was wondering if someone could tell me what to expect. I’ve never done one of these before *

Hey! Don’t worry, it’s a really short interview. I think it’s around 1.5 minutes! You only have a minute to prepare as well, but it’s more about introducing yourself. Very casual! I’m not sure if the questions are different for each location, though.

good luck! ☺️
