I’ve just completed my video interview today. Rushed it as I always do with pre recorded interviews.

Did you do the video sift on the April campaign? If so would you say it was just like that or different?

I have a video interview coming up, could you please share what kind of questions there were? I’ve seen people mentioning they are not what you would expect? Were there any question relating directly to the role?

Thank you

They are all strength questions that you can’t really prepare for. Just be honest and be yourself. Think about the qualities they are looking for to carry out the role. Good luck 🤞🏻

Hey all, I applied for the role a few weeks ago after realising the apprenticeship was probably more accessible to me. I completed the video recorded interview last week and haven’t heard anything other than an automated response to say the interview had been completed and uploaded.

I just wondered how long it has taken others on the apprenticeship to hear back after the video interview?

Also, has anyone else applied for the North?

Thanks :smile:

Obviously we can’t post specific questions here, however I’d say the best approach would be to be honest and open. Relax into the interview and just be yourself. There was an example question at the start that gives you the chance to understand the tone of the interview etc.

The first 2 questions were random ones that are clearly designed to assess your tone and communication style so just try to be as comfortable and clear as possible!

Hope this helps :smile:

Good morning all,
REALLY basic question but did you put references down on CV and is it an actual CV I need to compile or does the application lead you through it online?
First time applying for a new job in 20 years and so don’t want to mess it up!!
