Nope. Having gone through a big recruitment drive with the Scottish Government previously, take all time lines with a couple kilograms of sea salt. Friday means the next Monday. Next week means next month.

There's 22 of us in our cohort from 2017, but I don't know what numbers they are planning to take in this time around.
Cheers,

Hi Jason/Graham,
What is the age range of the cohort..... I assume most are in their twenties, but are there thirty-somethings or even maybe a forty-somethings in the cohort? I am looking to change careers so not a typical recent graduate

You're right, most are in their mid-twenties, however there's no requirement to apply within a certain time of getting your degree. There's a good few of us who decided to apply after working for a few years or wanted a career change. I'm 33 and graduated in 2008, so I'm a bit older than most of the people who made it on to the programme.
You shouldn't worry about when you graduated. As long as you have a degree you'll be eligible like anyone else.
Thanks,
Graham

Hello,
I'm having trouble logging into the verbal and numerical tests. I have received the email with the link from Talent Central which takes me to a log-in page.
Should I have received log-in details in a second email from Talent Central? I cannot log-in using my own email address. Grateful to hear what other people are using to log-in!

Hi,
I had the same issues and spent AGES looking for login details and ended up just registering instead of logging in. I feel it’s very unclear.

Thanks!
Yeah, the instructions aren't the simplest. I think my problem was my browser (Google Chrome on Mac) as it wouldn't let me submit the registration form. Switched to internet explorer on a pc and I could submit my details through the registration form and could then access the tests.

Oh maybe that’s what was wrong with mine. I also use chrome on a mac! How did you find the tests?

I've only sat the verbal one and thought it was okay. I'm taking a few more days to brush up on my maths skills! How have they been for you?

I haven’t sat them yet, just done the practice ones! I was just concerned because with the practice ones I feel like I was really rushed for time, especially with the numerical one. Didn’t want to leave any blank, but also wanted to make sure I was getting the correct answers. That’s good that you didn’t find the verbal one too bad!

Hi, there does anybody know when the assessment centre takes places? I believe they said sometime in May but I'm looking for more specific dates/general time frame. Eg Early/Mid/late May
