Have you got any response? It took them about 2-3 weeks to get back to me with a test then about a week with a telephone interview.

Mine was good, took them a week to get back saying I'd passed it. Good luck! What area did you apply for?

I applied for the marketing insight day about 4 weeks ago and have just found out I've got a telephone interview but there are no more slots available at this time, has anyone else found this?

Best bet is to ring them up to ask...I think thier HR contact number is either in the email they sent you or on your account page.

Hi, what did you apply for division wise?
Make sure you research the business and things that affect the business. Look at the competencies and really understand them. Next sound clear and confident, don't over speak but don't use less than a sentence to answer a question. If you can separate it out into maybe 3 sentences that's long enough for an answer.
Stay calm and be you. They know when you fake it or script it out so just be natural with it.

On the website it says so, but they told me otherwise.

'We would like to thank you for taking the time to speak with us during your recent telephone interview. Your application is currently in the process of being considered for a place on our final selection stage, our Selection Board event'.

I thought that for the spring week it was a telephone interview then descision only....so confused ....Hope I get it

I would! You applied for the 3 day spring programme right? And definitely not the industrial placement/summer internship? I haven't heard of anyone else getting this email.

A little about them. More about why you want to do it and what you know about them...
