Hii, how long after finishing the SHL did you guys get an interview invite? I also applied for the medical graduate programme, but just did the SHL yesterday

I applied on 19/09 and heard back on 20/10. Though the application for the role I applied for closed on 12/10 (I think), I would not expect to hear back before the application window is closed.

Thank you! Mine also closed at 12/10, but I applied 12/10 as well.

They're mostly STAR questions, it's only 3 video questions you do, you get unlimited time to prepare and unlimited amount of retries too,, so don't worry or be nervous :smile:

Hi, Does anyone know what type of questions are asked for the medical graduate programme interview? as mentioned before there is not a lot of information online. More like are they motivational or STAR based questions.

Hi, does anyone know if we're allowed to make more than one application for a particular graduate scheme track (as there are multiple application postings for the same scheme due to different locations)?

Hi, how long do you get to answer each question? and by STAR do you mean situational questions for example where you led a team, faced a difficult situation etc? thanks

you get 3 mins for each question and yes they were situation based where you had to do a difficult task or something along those lines. Again you get unlimited time to prepare before you start recording so it doesn't matter what questions you get you will be prepared to answer it.

Maybe around November, the next stage after the interview is the virtual assessment centre (it tells you in the description of the application)

Yeah you can apply for more than one but make sure you tailor your application for each one

I applied for the medical graduate programme, and didn't do great in the SHL test, but managed to get an interview. Not too sure on how the process works on getting to the next stage


same! I'm really confused because I actually did really awful. The scores were "Low" and that I was less likely to fit into the programme. I just received an email for an interview.
