Marks and Spencer Graduate Scheme 2015

That was my original deadline as well. Good luck with your interview!

Right, so I've done the interview. It went okayish, though it was definitely obvious that I was nervous. I had a couple of pauses where I was formulating the next sentence in my head, as I didn't want to err and um.

There are ten questions, and you have 25 seconds after each question comes up to brainstorm, and then you have three minutes to answer it. You DO have a break after every question. Moreover, you can log out after you have completed a question and carry on from where you left off at a later date.

I'm not going to say what the questions are, but it's a mix of competency and ambitions.

Thanks for letting us know! Very good that we do get a break between questions! Did you do all in one sitting? Also, I understand that you don't want to share the questions since we might get the same ones and we would get an unfair advantage, but I'm just wondering if you think it's very different from what the phone interview seemed to be? Also, did you think questions were ambiguous? I'm a little worried about that since it's not like you can ask for clarification.
Hope it went okay and that you get to move on to an assessment centre!

i pray i make it to this stage!!

well done you for doing it tho!! i hope you did good

I've applied for the Retail management scheme. It says my application is on hold pending the results of my tests. I'm presuming this is not a good thing seeing as a lot of people appear to have already had interviews?
I didn't apply until a week before the deadline though...

Hi guys,

Got an email from the company conducting the video interviews that I am invited... (applied for the merchandising role).
The email said that I had 7 days to complete it.

Then three hours later got another email...you need to complete it within 2 days O.o I was like....really? So I called to double check and they confirmed that!

I just can't believe that....

Hello everyone,

Has anyone on here applied for the Buying scheme? I applied in September and done all tests then and the last email I got was that my application is now on hold while they consider my results. I saw a lot of people had interviews already and its quite worrying as I heard nothing ( Stress mode on ) lol

same and same, pooping myself!! my housemate made a passing comment that her friend knows someone that got it (but she also said she wasnt sure if she was totally right) so i was like oh god they dont want me and they just havent rejected me yet

waaahhh suspense is KILLING me

Omg thank god I'm not the only one that means there is still hope lol I'm just hoping they still didn't reach the buying applicants as they might be doing each scheme at a time. I might be wrong but fingers crossed Did you apply early in September aswell?

thats exactly what im hoping hahaha, i applied like early november! wasnt sure whether i would stand a chance so um-ed and ah-ed for ages before finally doing it.
