I applied for tech! All interviewers are really nice. Just make sure your presentation is not boring and in the group interview don’t always be the person who speaks. You can say things like ooh xxx you seem a bit quiet, how about you to facilitate the discussion

Really appreciate it :smile: been stressing over it as it’s my first AC lol
Been hearing that the interviewers are good so it’s calmed some nerves, is the follow up interview difficult?

It was also my same AC as well so I did not sleep well the night before lol. The follow up interview for me was chill.(although it may depend on the interviewer) Just some questions about my presentation and some common interview questions(literally the ones you can find on indeed, nothing too tricky)
You can do it!

I applied for the design futures placement, haven’t seen anyone post about it so wondered if anyone else did apply for this one specifically 🙂
I applied for the technical role in London and just finished my final interview with a tech consultant.
That’s quick! How was it? I passed my AC last Thursday but I haven’t been contacted by IBM about my second interview :frown:
Oh, I think it's because I was part of the first set AC. I did mine on the 13th and was told I passed the next day on the 14th, then got contacted for a technical role in London on Wednesday and had an interview today.
My interview was good, it was with a tech lead and more of like a conversation and questions based on the ones we answered on the first application form where we had a lot of essays.

I think I've got it cause I did it earlier and a role for me was open so hopefully they get back to you in the coming week🙂

Great! Thanks for the tips. I got the email on Monday so I hope I'll hear back from them next week. So you've got the role I presume?
