Hi everyone,

it might be a bit of a silly question but when recording our VI answers are we supposed to round it off with something along the lines of a simple thank you or should we just conclude and move on? Thanks in advance!

No thank you is necessary + the given time can be limited so you don't want to waste any time saying thank you

 

[unserious candidate]

me too – I guess you win some you lose some!

Just got an invite to the Gowling test

Do you know when we will know if we progressed to the VI ?

Hi, this is for spring? If so, when did you do your WG?

No need to do introductions or sign offs such as thank yous. I would just answer the question given the strict time limit. It isn’t like a normal interview where you go through the pleasantries.
