Natwest 2021 video interview

I got through to the video interview stage and im looking for any advice, or any example questions. or experience on how you felt about that stage of the application?

I've done one before for Kier, and that was a mess cos it was my first time and I think I got 2 clear words in and just froze for the entire 2 minutes they gave me lol

Hey man, thanks for sharing! My VI deadline is the 5th.
6 basic questions you mean competency based or scenario-based?
And how long did the whole VI last for you?

Hi everyone, I have my VI due in by the end of today. I was wondering whether anyone could provide further insights into their VI? It would be much appreciated.

No one can provide information, all relevant information is contained in the NatWest email.
Has anyone heard back after the video interview?

Not yet. I finished my VI on the 24th and my programme closed already, so I'm a bit nervous!

Communications and corporate affairs. My status still says in process on Workday, so I'm still in the running I suppose. Have you heard back from them?

Haven't heard back yet, thought it went ok but probably the one I struggled with most because of how many points they wanted you to cover in each answer, which got me a bit muddled. Which program did you apply for?

I think the questions themselves were quite fair, but having only 2 mins to prepare thoughtful answers for around 4-6 questions was tough. I only feel confident with one of my answers.

Congrats! How long did it take for you to get back from them, and which role did you apply for, if you don't mind sharing? :smile:
Can anyone give some kind of guidance on the type of questions they asked?

I felt confident about none of my answers :afraid:
I dont think what I said in any of it made much sense cos it was so nerve-racking and short, it's so much easier having a real conversation than giving structure essay answers on the spot
