Hi guys , does anyone know what the interview questions are going to be like ?
I know they’re based on strengths but does anyone have specific examples

I got an invite to the final selection board. Can anyone tell me what questions they got if they already did the interview? Much appreciated.

the questions they asked me were all pretty standard like ‘tell me about a time’ questions, nothing unexpected from reading the guide they sent. it wasn’t very conversational though since the interviewer was reading off a script so there was no way to gauge how well i did. also they said that we won’t find out if we were successful until february or march!

How do we find out what schemes we are still in the running for- in case they ask any scheme-specific motivational qs

Ah okay did you get any questions that made u think like ‘are you a starter or a finisher’

Reply 59

can't believe I have to wait till march to find out so annoying! had my interview last week and think it went ok but questions were very non technical so hard to know. does anyone know if they place you somewhere, if there's accommodation supplied or anything like that? I'd imagine not but if they could place you (potentially) in any of the 4 places put down that's got to be difficult to organise or afford for many people!
