    Hi,

    More than happy to offer some help for the video interview.
    The questions I was asked were;
    1. A time you compromised your views
    2. A time when you had to choose between a range of solutions to solve a problem
    3. What aspect of the training contract would you be concerned about
    4. Which seat in the training contract would be the most important\give the broadest experience as an NQ

    If there's anything else feel free to ask :)
