Ofcom Graduate Scheme 2021

I’m sure you did great! I without a doubt did terribly on mine (I got more than half of the questions wrong on the practice exercises), but by some luck I made it through lol. Hang in there and all the best, hoping they get back to you ASAP ✨✨

I just received an email saying I passed it and onto the VI. I did notice something odd lol. They said I passed the numerical test which I didn’t even do😭

Maybe it’s an automated email if you reach the bench mark, as only certain schemes do the numerical? Although I am sceptical as to whether everyone completes all stages and then Ofcom sift them after because I did really terribly in the numerical test and got invited to the VI

Has anyone completed the video interview yet? I assume it’s the STAR style questions?

✨✨✨ Ahhh fantastic news!!!!! Congratulations. That’s strange, I didn’t even notice that before, but my email also says I passed the numerical reasoning test, perhaps a typo.

I did my VI on Saturday night lol, honestly it could go either way for me. All the best with yours.

Yeah completed mine on Saturday.

Questions:
- explain Ofcom to a friend
- which sector of the business you’d like to work for and why
- what values of the business align with your own/what are your values and how do they align with theirs.
- And a question about what you would do if a colleague asked for help when you’re on a deadline.

Did you hear back after your VI?

Finished my VI. I cannot express how much I hate VIs

Hi yes I did, made through to shortlisting 🎉🎉🎉! How about you?

How long did it take to hear back? I only completed it this morning😭😭 not hopeful

I heard back after about 2 weeks, I completed the VI on 13 Nov and heard back yesterday. All the best, I’m sure you will hear back soon!

Congratulations on being shortlisted ✨ I have a long wait 😭

Hang in there, let’s hope they take less time to responding to you!

Omg I just got an email saying my VI has been progressed and they’ll do the shortlisting to compare after the deadline. Is that what yours said too? -
