SSE Graduate Scheme

I applied to the commercial graduate scheme and have been offered an interview - it took about a week for me to hear back between online tests and being offered an interview.

Ok, so I've applied for the engineering scheme. I completed all the tests and only got to Q8 of the numerical one. Was definitely the hardest test I've done. Since then I've now heard back that I have passed and have been invited to a video interview. Two others in my year haven't heard back yet so I'm not sure what is happening with them. I received an email to the interview last Thursday.

Yeah the test was absolutely brutal. I was the same, the quiz timed out just as I was moving from Q8 to Q9. Can't actually believe I got offered an interview.

Having done the interview, does anyone know the time-frame for assessment centers? Are they staged before or after Xmas? Any idea of when we'll hear if we've been successful with the VI's?

Anyway, good luck everyone :smile:

That's brilliant news. Congratulations, hope you get it!

Still waiting on word from the transmission scheme VI's. If anyone can put me out of my misery, it would be much appreciated :biggrin:

Hello everyone. New on the thread, applied for the Transmission programme.
That's me done with the online presentation and the virtual interview. Has anyone else reached this stage? If so, how did you guys find it? Personally, I've found the final video interview pretty tough, the presentation went alright.
Best of luck!

Hey there, I've not heard back from them yet, one of the interviewers said it could take a couple of weeks until HR will let us know of the final outcome. How did you find the final stage?

My interviewer said to expect a call before the 22nd if successful. The interview was alright, the presentation a bit vague imo. wbu?

I found the interview a bit tough, more technical than I thought it was going to be. The presentation went alright but I agree with you, I was expecting more info in the brief but it is what it is now. Best of luck to you :smile:

Just wondering if anyone had heard back, either way? I was told those going for transmission would hear by the 23rd at the latest. Good luck everyone.
