DWF VI
- Thread starter Ali2020
- Start date
Absolutely agree. I attended their open day and in the presentation they said that the video interview would be strength based. But actually there was absolutely no strength based questions imo - not really fair :/
Has anyone heard back from DWF post VI? (Mcr office)
I completed a VI and haven't heard back yet either. I *hate* VI's - they feel so impersonal! Hope we hear back soon!
It was a strange first experience for me! Does anyone have an idea how long it takes to hear back?
Still waiting! Really want to hear back, I suspect we will hear back this week.It was a strange first experience for me! Does anyone have an idea how long it takes to hear back?
Just received an AC invite for the Liverpool office so keep an eye on your emails guys x
Well done!
Just got my rejection email
It was my first VI, hopefully I can improve for next time
Congratulations! Fingers crossed you’ll smash it
