Laboratory scientist!

I don't know if the timings are different for different apprenticeships - How far are you in the application process?
I've also applied to Laboratory Scientist but I haven't heard anything about assessment centres yet. I had to do the Pymetrics test for AstraZeneca and a virtual activity thing for GSK.

I've applied for Clinical Supply Chain & Logistics at both GSK and AstraZeneca!

I did the World of GSK assessment and then GSK Life job simulation, and I did the pymetrics then the two assessments for AZ.

Still waiting to hear re assessment centres for both :smile:

I emailed AZ about when we'd hear back and they said:

'All applications are currently being reviewed now with managers having to hand a shortlist in by the 17th of March. Communications regarding application outcomes and invites will be sent out after that with assessment days taking place in April.'

So hopefully this coming week or the one after!

omg that’s so cool keep me updated ! i’m the same just waiting to hear back about the final stage but i know i messed up on the GSK job simulation so hopes aren’t that high lmao. i have no clue abt the uni they didn’t mention one anywhere ugh. did you apply for chem eng at uni as well?
Yay keep me updated too! It’s so weird it doesn’t mention it but i’ll definitely ask if I get to the next stage. I found the video bit of the GSK job simulation frustrating as I just don’t feel I portrayed myself properly but hopefully we’ve both scraped through! Yes i’ve applied to uni too, think i’d firm Imperial and insure Bath what about you?

You've made me feel a lot better! Best of luck with your application.

Ahahahah thank you!! Are you leaning more towards uni or apprenticeship (if you got one)? Especially interesting with the AZ one being provided by Strathclyde as well! I’m trying not to get too set on one or the other in case uni becomes my only option😬

I'm so glad :smile: that's why I'm so happy this forum popped up - you don't feel like you're on your own in this application process anymore.

Good luck with yours also, maybe see you at one of the ACs :wink:

Oh wow that’s so interesting thank you! So good you sent that as I think a few people have been wondering the same. It’s great they associate with such a good uni!

bro it literally switches- i love glasgow so going to uni there would be amazing but then again working with such good companies doing in real life projects would also be so fun. idk i’ll be happy with either😌
