Has anyone had/done their VI for Bristow's and has any advice? Can't seem to find any information of it? Thanks!
Hi! So I recently completed the Video Interview for Bristows, it was my first interview so I was quite nervous, I am not sure I will progress to the IP workshop though!!! However, the interview was pretty straightforward, There were only three questions (what skills did you gain in the past year, what do you expect to gain from the IP workshop and the second one I cant remember now lol). Each question was to be answered in one minute. So it was only a three minute interview!

Has anyone applied for the W&C open day with yesterday (11th) as their first preference but not heard back yet? Wondering if my application is still in the hat for the 25th or I should consider it rejected.

Do W&C send rejections?

    I emailed them, was rejected but their response is relevant to you - they said that if you haven't heard back then you are still in the pool for the 25th!
