Hi, applied for the paralegal scheme! They replied to the online tests a week after I did them. Bit nervous about the video interview rn, I've done terribly in these before.

Hey, thank you for making this thread and congrats! I've applied to the same scheme and have got a video interview. The online tests are quite difficult, you've got verbal, numerical and logical tests to do with about 60-90 seconds to complete each question. I was surprised that I got through to video interview! Best of luck :smile:

Thank you so much! I've just complete the VI, it was surprisingly not as bad as I thought it would be (famous last words!). Took about 20 minutes, but only had 60 seconds to prepare and 60 seconds to answer each question. Wasn't enough time! I would definitely say be concise in your answers
Has anyone else done the VI?

Leadership Q? That's interesting, I think there are prob different questions depending on the scheme. I don't remember a q like that, but I remember some creative oriented questions, which I did not expect bc I am applying for the paralegal role.

I didn't get one about leadership! Defo think they changed the pool of questions depending on the scheme. Good luck to both of you, I wonder when we will hear back!
Hey, hope it goes well for you all! About to take my VI for the marketing graduate scheme tomorrow. Just wondering if you're given the chance to re-record responses and if you can take breaks in between questions? I'm assuming it's more like a real-life interview, although I took a VI for J&J today and was allowed to re-record my answers up to 2 times so would be good to know if it's similar with Samsung.

No re-recording, but if I recall well there are pauses between questions. Best of luck!

Hiya, they were mostly competency questions asking you to prove your experiences make you fit for the role. Don't worry I am sure you will do great!
Have any of you heard back yet after taking the interview?

Hey, sorry for the late response! I haven't heard anything yet, I'm hoping we hear something in the next week or so - otherwise it's cutting it quite close to assessment centre period.
Havent heard anything either too.
I did my video interview for the paralegal grad role (it was awful) hopefully they get back soon so i can be put out my misery :biggrin:
How many questions are there for the VI? :smile:

Hi Guys

Samsung run their Final AC's for Graduate Applications between January - March 2021.

Has anyone heard back with an update following their VI? I submitted by VI for the People Graduate Programme on December 7th!!

Quite nervous as it's almost the end of January!
