I honestly don't know. I don't even think they asked me questions. I just have a gap of 15 minutes of my life where something happened, but I'm not sure what. :p:

In all seriousness - the interview was a lot more 'traditional' than Newcastle. They cut me off a lot to ask new questions, etc. but I suspect that was because I can go into lots of detail and there's only 15 minutes (which flew past).

Lmao sounds like me in an interview! Well done, I'm sure you've aced it! :hugs:

Do we know how they are choosing the order for interviewing? Although from the sound of things it sounds quite random... You never know - it might be done alphabetically... or geographically :confused:

To be honest, I don't think it's geographical or alphabetical.......I had an interview and my surname begins with R, also those there on the same day as me lived in different areas. I don't know whether that helps :biggrin:

I wouldn't like to say what the interview was about. :smile:

I've noticed that entry in 2010 was on the 20th September, but in 2011 it will be on the 26th September. Maybe no more working through freshers?

Apparently 10 peoples interviews were cancelled today. There was meant to be 2 interviewing groups going on at the same time (10 per group) but one interviewer couldn't make it, so I think they cancelled people who had a fair distance to travel and made it only 1 group. Some times were shifted yeh, but mine wasn't.

Nope, 15 minutes EXACTLY. I went in exactly at 1:30 and came out, checked my watch and it was 1:46. And yes, very very very serious. Much more like a traditional medical interview - they sit there and grill you - rather than the 'conversational' interview I had at Newcastle.

because b'hams interview was a bit lax prolly like Newcastle's.... could you handle all the questions they threw at you?

I'd rather not hear about the rejection tomorrow, just leave it for now if that's what it is. If it's an interview, on the other hand, I'd like it very much :teeth:

maybe it'll come around for you closer to chrismas so that it'll be a gift...an interview that is...a rejection would just be cruel.

I was debating on the matter if they give out rejections on birthdays? xD they probably dont care about the date but still they should think about that shouldnt they
