KENNEDYS SQE TRAINING PROGRAMME

[Chantelle22]

Yup! Two days ago:

“We are still awaiting all the interviews to be conducted and aim to be in touch with you over the next couple of weeks.”

Thank you! Seems like it's going to be a long wait again, should have known that it wouldn't be 2 weeks😂

Overall was an enjoyable day! Can't really work out how well the assessments went but they weren't too bad, I'm pretty sure one of my videos cut off half way through :/ Also after the associate interview the next stage will be a partner interview (in case anyone wants to know)

hey! Pls where did you get the partner interview info from?

I was also wondering this as I havent seen anything to suggest that there is another stage

Same!

I’ve emailed grad rec asking them though. Will update when they reply.

I really doubt there’s a partner interview in this new recruitment cycle. From TCLA, I’ve seen that there used to be. But I know that they’ve changed the process this year. I hope there isn’t. The whole process has been quite frankly lengthy 😭. That will be a drag!

 

[Oroma]

By the way, is there anyone who had a TC AC invite that hasn’t yet had their AC/associate interview?

 

[Aspiringsol23]

So I think for direct TC there is definitely another interview a partner interview. They said this in the AC. For SQE applicants it may be different.

Okay! Thanks for clarifying this. 😭. They didn’t say it in my AC. whew. This is the lengthiest process everrrrrr.

I know!!!! Because in the AC invite it says congratulations for getting to the last stage haha. But they've surprised us with another. Hopefully we are all successful in reaching the Partner interview!
How did you find the strength based interview?

My strengths based interview went really well! 7 assessed questions then the rest of the time was just us chatting. How was your AC?

 

[Aspiringsol23]

Okay great. Were the questions predictable/easy to answer? I'm not too sure how to prepare for it!!
I think the AC went well, there was one task I found particularly challenging but I managed to complete everything in time 😱

The time pressure of those tasks whew!!!! I don’t want to relive it 😂! For me, yes they were. Just have many experiences to talk about. Also, they asked me a question on how best I manage a large amount of info in a short time; I think that’s a way to remedy the time pressure of the AC micro assessments. Because I used my AC micro assessments as a reference 😂

 

[Oroma]

I think they’ve finished AC’s maybe just interviews left. Im slowly burning out but hanging in. 😭I applied since October/November. Seven months in and we are still here 🥴

Oh no way haha that's one good thing to come out of the ACs then! Well done j! Can't wait to get mine done now, the process has been very lengthy. I think I applied last summer!!!

Hi yeah sorry if I can remember correctly they said this during my AC for the direct 2022 TC!

 

[Ajkaia]

There is a partner interview (final stage) after the AC and senior associate interview, if you pass both..

I guess it makes sense, because we haven't had a commercial awareness interview yet, but it really is a long process I applied about 5 months ago now

Just done my AC exercises, ran out of time on one of the video exercises. I recorded 10 seconds then it cut off.. I'm f'd. 😭😭😂😂

Which role was this for if you don’t mind me asking? For my first video i only recorded about 30 seconds and it just put a dampener on the rest of my assessments so try not to let it get to you! You still have the interview!
