There’s a status column?

Yh, when you log into Baker’s cvmail platform you’ll see it there

Do I assume PFO from GD? Had their first stage interview last week. But haven’t heard back and know people have VS offers already.

I haven't heard back either and I too interviewed last week.

They said they could take up to 2 weeks.

People haven't finished interviewing yet so the results could come out later.

Has anybody got any insights into the Clyde & Co VI. Particularly timings, number of questions and how long it will actually take. I'm in the middle of exams atm but it's due tonight. Finally, what is meant by 'strengths based assesment'??

6 questions. Preperarion material (can read/watch as long as you want). Once getting the question you have 1 minute prep, 2minutes to answer. The time it takes depends on how long you spend reading/listening to material. 18 minutes ish for the actual questions and recording. I'd allocate 30minutes total at least.

Nice to see a few fellow career changers on here, I always imagine GR team spitting their coffee out when they review my VI and see me rolling in on my Zimmer frame.

On a side note, anyone ever done a VI and not immediately wanted to curl into a ball and die? Asking for a friend... (Sorry WFW )
