ESB summer placement for students

Yeah, it was kind of odd because they'd left me a voicemail while I was in an exam and I had to ring them back this morning.
They explained in detail why I didn't get it and it had a lot to do with the amount of detail I answered the questions in.
Yeah, when I asked after the interview when I'd hear back they said the 7th.. so it's late enough.
All the best anyway, there's hope yet if you still haven't heard back!

That is so strange that they went through so much hassle to tell you you didn't get it , so weird ! Ya when I asked , they told me within a week and my interview was on the 6th :S

I got a call last week saying I didnt get it, told me I did really well etc and the same thing that my interview needed more detail and to focus on the STAR method in competency interviews in the future.

hard luck mate, had a second interview last week, well it was more like an informal chat, certainly nothing as difficult as the first interview, was told would hear by end of the week but nothing yet, called today and was informed that a decision still not made.

It would appear this is one difficult place to get a job but fingers crossed

folks for anyone who has been successful how long did you have to wait for references to be checked, did anyone also have to do a medical questionnaire as opposed to an actual physical?
