Hey, just wondering if you know the email address of their HR/ early career team? I want to ask them a question, but I couldn't find their email address.

No, I dont think there are. I got an invitation for online interview a few days ago, and was planning to complete it in the next few days but just got an email saying that the deadline is approaching. However, I'm a bit confused as they dont really include a deadline in the email so I'm not sure by when I should complete the interview lol.

I think they can take 3-4 weeks to respond, I haven't heard anything back yet either
Guys, try the Canary Wharfian website's HireVue practice, it has 50+ actual interview questions and it'll suggest how to improve based on your answers. It's really useful. Good luck to all.

Heard back today at 7pm. Got an invite to the ac - I think? I think it’s contingent on giving right to work documents - can anyone else who’s received the ac invite explain what it means lol?

See I’m not entirely sure if it’s an invite to the ac or not - if anyone can clarify what it means whether there’s another stage after I send these documents that would be helpful. The email is below:

Good news! You have passed the Video Interview and you are through to the next stage of the application process.

We will now be considering your application to attend an Assessment Centre.

For us to start shortlisting your application please can you email us with the below information:

Your current Right to Work status and expiry date.

Your Bachelor's Degree (or equivalent) subject.

Your Bachelor's Degree (or equivalent) grade.

Your Graduation Date (past or future).

Do you have a preference on your home site for Year 1 of the programme (Waltham / Slough / Solihull)? Please note, if successful, we do ask that you are fully flexible and mobile during your time on the scheme, and we cannot guarantee your preference on location as it is dependent on where the roles are available.

Please also note that your application may not be successfully shortlisted for an Assessment Centre and we cannot begin to shortlist your application without confirmation of the above.
