Hi When did you hear back, I applied and finished my initial test 2 weeks before, on application portal, it says screening completed? DO you have any idea?

Hey, try learning break even analysis questions and also recommendations for business strategy. I am sure they don't ask exact questions to everyone so keep that mind

Thanks mate. I did my VI today, it went okay apart from one point where they asked me to do break even analysis and the next question was to explain same thing but on video. That part felt like disaster:/

Did you guys receive the email saying that all London vacancies are now filled and if you’re not willing to move to Nottingham you’ll have to withdraw the application?

I did my VI 3 days ago and today I received that email but they did mention that VI has not been assessed yet so maybe you’ll receive the email too. They’re likely to communicate late in October for next steps I guess

That seems like a plausible explanation. Let’s see what they say next

I applied for the Nottingham job from the beginning so didn’t get any info like this.
