    Hi!

    Just had the telephone interview with Vodafone. They have so many stages! I'm so freaked out I have to wait all weekend in agony to find out the results. Anyone else out there in the same or better/worse situation?

    I had mine last Friday and found out today I passed it too. Do you have an idea of what would happen on the experience day?

    Hi,

    I was wondering had anyone heard anything regarding the 'top 60' and Experience Days? Passed the telephone interview but nothing since - cheers!

    I completely forgot about that application status and login! Do you have a link for it?

    I would have thought 'early July' has come and gone by now!

    @ he_man_rugger: were you expecting to be hired based on your performance during the experience day? I'm just wondering if you felt it had gone well and were surprised, I'm finding it very hard to judge how well the day actually went.

    Three in my class went for it, one got it. He got a call this morning, myself and the other guy got calls later saying PFO. That's what I'm basing it on, sorry to be the bringer of bad news.

    I felt it went quite well, I didn't get the people in the group aspect around to my point of view but felt my points were strong and I argued them well. The person who led the option that won was really a case of shouting the loudest, although I felt the points made by them were weak/commercially naive... however perhaps I didn't take over the conversation as I should have, who knows. Was told I'd get a call later about feedback.

    Yeah, while my group ended up choosing the option I went for, I found it really difficult to get a word in edgeways. A couple of people definitely dominated and in some cases, went off on a tangent about things that weren't really relevant at all. I'd say it would have been the group element that brought me down, which is a shame because I thought the individual interviews went well.

    Sorry, bit of a brain fart there! There's no indication on the Taleo page about whether or not I've been successful. It just says "Application Status: Interview Process".

    Do either of yours say anything different?

    Mine says the same, but the update date says today's date so they did make the decision already I'm thinking.
