    I also got developing extraordinary outcomes as a weakness and got invited to the 2nd test. My top skills were championing our clients and giving them the edge, thriving under pressure and embracing transformation.

    You should still apply! I applied on Tuesday and got invited to the Simulate (2nd stage test) yesterday, so they seem to review the applications pretty fast

    Oh wow that’s a lot later than normal, surely they have to consider the fact we may have multiple offers?

    I don’t think you should give up hope yet, they had to call me too so don’t get too disheartened that that is the reason. What stream did you apply for? Mine is business services. They may just be doing them in batches :)

    Hi. I received my video interview invite this morning. Does anyone know whether this is the last stage of the process or if there’s more, and if so how many?
