Did anyone get an email confirming they recieved the application form? I just submitted mine and all I can see is that it says youre application will be considered, on the communication centre. :s-smilie:

I've been trying to email the recruitment team for the last week with no response!

I never got an email either. I presume we just wait? :redface:

Hey guys i applied for the retail managemdnt scheme 10 days ago. Did my online tests and then the competency questionnaire. Last week they emailed me that they need my gcse english and maths grade. They said i could update them on the communication centre or reply to that email. The email was from a no reply address so replies not getting through and i cant update my application theres no option to do it. I emailed the recruitment team but havent heard from them. They said if they dont receive my grades thheyll cancel my application in 7 days which will be this friday. I dont know what to do...

Just update it in the communicate centre.

Not too difficult, had to research omni-channel retailing though.

It's not too difficult, you just need to practice your percentages. I applied for the Retail Management Scheme and definitely got at least 22/24, and I'm awful at maths.

Seeing as there's no thread for this and applications have opened up I thought I'd start one.

I'm applying for the Merchandising graduate scheme...maybe I'm wrong but I think they've changed the format? I thought you had to pass each test before taking the next one and only after these have all been passed could you complete the application form.

Basically I've done all the tests and I've not been made to wait inbetween each one. Does this mean I've passed them? :confused:

Hi! do you remember roughly how many questions there were in each test

How long do you get for each test (verbal and numerical) and how many questions?

I can't remember exactly but I think it was 25 questions/45 minutes for the numerical test and 18 questions/25 minutes for the verbal.

Then again I've done a few recently so I may just be mixing them up lol.

Hey, yeah, that sounds right, i just did it and it was 25 question/45 mins for the numerical, but it was 24 questions/25 mins for the verbal....and tbh i found the verbal much harder....i felt they gave you sufficient time to do the numerical as i had 6 mins remaining but with the verbal I only managed to answer 22/24.......may be because i did one test after the other without a break.......now seems like a bad idea

are you guys sure that you automatically progress onto the next stage only if you pass the previous test because there's no way in hell that i passed the verbal and its already asking me to do the managerial one?

For people who have a video interview, how long did it take to hear back after sending off the application?

Hi guys, I have a video interview for the Finance scheme. Anyone know details as to what will come up? I'm assuming competency qs and motivation but I'm very nervous as it's my first video interview.

Would appreciate any help, good luck to all!
