Hi Mserwaah1, could I ask when did you apply and roughly when did you complete the online test and video interview?

Sadly, I haven't hear anything at all since I applied, any advice?

Thanks! Hope all goes well for the AC!

Hey, I applied 30th November, did the online test the week commencing 16th December, and completed the video interview on 13th January. I was invited for the AC on 15th January.

I think the timeline is different for everyone. I have read of people who applied earlier than me and had their applications reviewed earlier etc. Fingers crossed you should hear back soon :)

I see, thanks for sharing! One last question: did you apply for the Spring or Summer VS?

Hi, i was just wondering what questions you were asked for the video interview?

Hey!

It was purely competency based questions.

I can’t remember specifically but I know I had a question about how I dealt with conflict; how I managed things whilst under pressure; I had one commercial question about what interesting piece of news I was following; then the question about how my friends will describe me. The final one I think was to do with leadership. Hope this helps :) Goodluck!
