    Gateley and WBD my only hope and it’s only been 2/3 days post interactive assessment/pymetrics and I’m refreshing my email every second 😂

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    Anyone willing to share what they scored for Gateley’s ‘four pillars’? I did well for Grit and applied intellect, but my creative force and digital mindset let me down. Feel as if that’s what they’re after too. Expecting a PFO🤣

    Does anyone know when WBD will respond post Pymetrics? Whilst surfing through 100’s of forums, I found someone post that their game had the same deadline (March 7th) 2018 and heard back for a VI on the 15th 2018 🤣

    For WBD, I saw an example of the pymetric tests and it looks a lot like the one PwC gave out. Anyone have any idea how to prep for it?

    I’m just hoping she meant every successful candidate got it? Who knows, it seems a stretch either way

    Right?? That’s exactly what I thought and against my better judgment I didn’t reply to that

    I emailed grad recruitment, every candidate got invited to this, so not as special as I had hoped 😭 The next stage is an AC

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    I am pretty sure there’s an AC after this if they are following what they said on their website regarding the process. However, the VI+tests were not mentioned to us either so who knows 😭

    Just got it too!! Dying for help, any advice would be GREAT!!

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    Gateley emailed to say they rejected me on the basis that I require a visa to work, emailed grad recruitment to say it was a mistake!! They replied that’s great and the next stage is a test, which I’ll find out about today or tomorrow loool
