I've just sent off my application & done the tests - how long did it take for people to hear about the video interview? I keep checking my emails every hour!

was anyone at the assessment centre on the 24th October? If so, have you heard back? Checking my phone and emails every 5 mins!
Hi, has anybody completed the video interview? I don't know what to expect. Do questions pop up and you record your answers? and are the questions timed? I've never done one before!

Hi - I think you're right the question is meant to pop up and then you have a set amount of time to prep before it starts recording. Not sure about if the recording is timed though. How long did you wait to see if you got to video interview?
I completed the verbal reasoning test on Monday and I got an email about the video interview on Wednesday this week. I'm so nervous because I don't know what to expect!
Oh good luck! Hope it goes well. Do they give you a week to do the Interview too?
Out of interest when did you submit your original application? I'm probably overthinking but still nervous I haven't heard anything...

I submitted the original one a couple of weeks back I'm sure you will be fine! I think it's around a week they give you to complete the interview.
Is anybody attending the assessment day on the 24th Nov 13:45?
Hi! Just wondering how long it took for you to hear back after your assessment centre that you got the offer? I know they say 3 weeks but I've heard some people have been contacted within a couple of days? Thanks x

I am :smile:
I heard two weeks and a day after my assessment centre that I was successful. A long time to wait but worth it!

Hi, yes i hated the VI part ..but i gotthrough tothe assessment centre. definitely do the practices you can do like interview4 etc. getyou used to talking to a webcam

When u click to begin, you get 30 seconds to read the question/scenario and when its been 30 seconds u get automatically moved on tothe webcam recording your answer. make sure you go over the compentencies and why you are applying, maybe go back to your written application.

Its hard to prepare for the questions youll get just practice the video interview to get comfortable talking to your device as you would in a normal interview

I thought mine was aeful and got through to the next stage so just make sure you relax and dont rush between questions :smile: good luck

I'm waiting to hear back from my assessment center too... fingers crossed! I'm finding it really difficult to stay positive and not to interpret the silence as bad news. What date was your assessment?

Ye i know what you mean..fingers crossed. mine was a week ago :frown:
I didn't hear back until four weeks after my assessment centre and I got through so no news is not necessarily bad news!
