Sky Software Developer Apprenticeship 2024, Osterley

nah, its a coding assessment next which consists of two tasks and then an assessment centre. it's a calm process so hopefully i get thru

ahh, that seems fair nothing too much at least u don't have to do the video interview cos I was stuttering tbh

oh we did have a video interview, in the first round of digital assessments it included a whole bunch of questions and then you do a video interview at the end 🤣 but i found it went really well cause they had videos for you to watch before doing the questions and video interview, so i took notes and yh the questions were calm

Maybe that is where I screwed up... because for me I think it went horribly at that point

sorry to hear that you didnt get through ☹️ have you applied to other software developer apprenticeships?

and for a video interview next time, to prepare u can write up points for the most common interview questions - having pointers beforehand helps you with coming up with an answer during the prep time for the question. and tbh, i have no idea how i did since they still haven't emailed if i got through to the coding stage

Just completed the second digital assessment which was a job simulation. Think I did fairly well but we'll see

update: i got an invite to do their coding assessment today! it consists of 3 tasks, and i'll probably be doing it later today. good luck to anyone else who also is doing it!

Congrats. I'm still disappointed in myself that I screwed up and can't apply anywhere else in sky this recruitment session (not even their cyber security application which was going to be my back up plan) I'm sure I'll find somewhere else eventually

thank you! and yes of course, there are plenty of software developer apprenticeships available, you might be limited in locations but they generally pop up all year round. good luck in your applications tho, i hope it goes well.

Thanks. Who knows maybe sky will send out a second round of apprenticeships next year and maybe I'll try again if I don't get an apprenticeship by then. But ofc no point in wasting my life just waiting for it, there will always be something out there that I can apply for

Finally got an email back and finished the coding questions ughhh … I just wanted to know if anyone only got 2 questions. I checked the email and it said that there would be 3 questions (1 with a language of ur choice, 1 JavaScript and 1 CSS) but I didn’t get the CSS question. Is this the case for anyone else??

Good luck to everyone btw!!!

haven't done it yet but it kinda makes sense that there would be 2 questions, cause it said in the job description that there would be 2 coding tasks - so i was initially confused by the email.

btw did the codility tests measure performance too, or did they have that option turned off? bc it was like that for another coding test I've done for an apprenticeship

Ohhh ok thanks!!
Yeah it measures performance too

it says in the email that the assessment is timed but on the sky application track website, it says it's not timed and you can spend as long as you need on each question? 😭 so confused, was it timed when you did it?

Its 2 hours for 2 questions, even tho it said 4 hours in the email and 1hr and 30 mins before I did the test on the codility page.

idk why the information they give is different in different places tho, I think they need to update their application process smh 😭
