Hey guys,
For those still messaging me about Clyde and co virtual interview for insights:

- 6 questions. 2 min prep. 1 min answe.
- prepare for situational questions, and motivational.
- case studies/materials that you can look over for as long as you want. Questions relate to these, but detail is not expected.

I'm not going to reveal specific questions/ trade questions for those of other applications etc, as that puts those who took the VI earlier (inc me for this, and others if I trade for other info) at a competitive disadvantage - especially as these are suitability assessments. Hope this helps.

    how screwed am I to get personal responsibility, curiosity and collaboration as my strengths but WORK ETHIC as my area for development on the white & case SJT 💔
    hey i got work ethic as my weakness and i got the vi like 1hr after i finished the test! so don't worry

    and ur strengths seem better than mine were so i wouldnt be concerned if i were you!
