Did you manage to do the last question well?
It was way too much information to consume in the given time :frown:

I got cut off on questions 2 and 4. I just really struggled to look at the camera without glancing down to remember what the actual questions were! I definitely managed to plan an answer in the time we were given but then I didn't remember half of my answer because there was just so much to remember! Honestly, I wish it was like other video interviews where they ask one question at a time; I didn't like answering four questions all at once!

How did it go for you?

Has anyone heard back yet since their video interview?

Hi guys, I did my video interview in early November. Was everyone's video feedback also full of "excellent" and then minor points of improvement? I have looked through past posts and it seems having a lot of "excellent" doesn't necessarily mean you are through to the AC.

I did call Unilever about when we will hear back and I was told an independent company is looking through our interviews and they are also yet to decide on AC dates but will most probably be post-Christmas. Also, from reading last years posts it looks like next week we might start receiving responses. Let's all keep each other updated?

I applied last year and got to the final assessment centre for finance future leaders, I did my video interview on November 1st and didnt get my invite to the assessment centre until the very end of November. For finance they only hire 6-8 people a year and the assessment centre has only 4 people at a time. Before the assessment centre they give you access to the Unilever foundry where you collaborate with the other 3 people to prepare a group presentation on an area of interest, mine was on which organic skin care brand Unilever should consider for acquisition. I expect they will not give invites to the assessment centre until later this month. If you have any other questions feel free to ask.


What date was your assessment day? Were the other three people you had to prepare the presentation with also applying for UFLP or were they already Unilever employees? Also, after how long did you find out you didn't get through?

I had a similar experience but quickly wrapped up my last few words in time for it to end.
Found the first 3 questions O-K but ofcourse without the time limit probably would’ve done 10x better
Last one i was just too anxious and over thought about everything.
Managed to pull an answer out but I was unsure about the figures I was using so said a lot of “with respect to the data...” and made sure to define things so they knew I knew how to calculate what was needed but may have calculated it incorrectly because of pressure
Any one have any updates? Rejections? Assessment invites?
I did my video mid October haven’t heard anything back.

Ah okay! Wonder when marketing will release... anyone else heard back for this scheme?
I applied for Customer Management (Sales) and got an email today saying my application was still under consideration for the ACs - I'm assuming this means I'm a maybe and they are waiting to see how other people do or something - has anyone else got an email like this recently?
