Hello Louise, congrats on getting the job. Ive done my tel interv today, it was ok, i hope i get through. Will update here the outcome. After how many days u got a response from them for the tel interv. Thanx

Hi, my telephone interview is tomorrow, not sure what to prepare, always think my previous experience is not good enough to convince the recruiter. VGN, did you use the example from your application form or prepared new answers?

Congratulations to Luisermillier!

Really nervous.

Congrats on the job!

I've got my telephone interview scheduled for tomorrow. So nervous! Did you guys just use the same examples as in the applications or create new ones?!

Mine is at seven, yikes! So close. My answers when I say them are really only about a minute long... Is this too short? Or do they ask questions inbetween to bulk out the time.

Scared x)

Hi VGN,

Finished my telephone interview yesterday. It was quick, like I am talking to an answer machine, really mechanical! I wonder what will they find out from the telephone interview. It is like ' we are going through formality, we already have the people we wanted,' kind of experience.

That's what I thought, well I hope so anyway... Wonder how long it'll be until we find out??

Hi guys, I'm a bit stressed; was supposed to have my phone interview today at 5:15pm but they never rang for some reason and so i've mailed them asking for an explanation but on the invitation email i received last week it states the 9th as the title and the 8th as the day of the interview so hopefully it may all just be an admin error and they'll ring tomorrow (9th) . anyway, i would reallyyy appreciate it if anyone would shed some light on what they ask you and the course of the phone interview in general. thanks a lot :smile:

New here, signed up after seeing this thread. Just had my telephone interview. Lasted 7 minutes! Was quite strange, almost formulaic. The lady I spoke to was very polite and seemed to read out terms and conditions at the start. I then gave my 2 competency answers, almost identical to those I typed in the application form. She then said thank you and asked if there's anything else I'd like to add. Minimal conversation, just basically reading out my answers as if it was an exam question. I wasted my time being nervous beforehand. As someone said earlier, it just seemed to be a formality to go through. Good luck to those who have telephone/face-to-face interviews to come. All the best
