hello i did :-)) its nothing to be worried about - they dont ask any technical questions. its three questions that you provide 2min long video responses to. iirc, the questions were:
what do you do in your free time?
why do you want to go into finance?
what interests you about hsbc specifically/why does hsbc appeal specifically?
i might be misremembering them slightly? i answered them pretty badly anyways 😅 good luck to you, though! and dont stress yourself out over it lol

ahh i ended up doing it earlier today but thank you sm it was so nice of you to send them :smile:

i hope you were happy with it! also yes you’re right, i’m so glad there weren’t any technical / more academic questions as i’d do horrifically with those types on the spot

huh..nope
I need to do the immersive test first.
I don't think we have to do the VED for the work experience application.It's the 1st time I've heard about it.
But Good Luck on it !
