Hi gav,
What kind of questions did they ask?

Won't say the exact questions here as that would be unfair to the people who have already submitted.

But the questions were very general, nothing technical. I wouldn't be getting too worked up on them, it will be the format (video recording you with a clock in the corner counting down) that will put you off more so.

Its very easy to find out what the questions are if you use some intiative. Ya cant be asking boards.ie what way to configure before take off!

Definitely agree with this! Safe to say I'm not going to be the next big youtube star :D

I hope not but I reckon this is the end of the road for me

Don't get discouraged, these tests are hard, you have probably done better than you think. That's what I am hoping for myself anyway!

I don't know about anyone else but I sure as hell felt like I did a lot of waffling about very little in the video interview so sure we are all in the same boat

For anyone who have completed both assessments. In 2nd assessment, is your Interview item listed as completed or still "In Progress" after completing it ? I have a tick box beside all other items but not this one. Got an error message for 1 video upload for interview.....

Thanks

Just finished my assessments, the interview item had a check beside it. Fairly happy with the interview, questions weren’t too tough but I may have waffled a bit! Ha...happy enough with the rest of the assessments! Good luck to you all!

Just going over my basic arithmithic now. Is there a need for calculators or are they permitted?

Thanks in advance.

What kind of questions came up in the interview if you don’t mind me asking? How long did it take?

It’s only 90 seconds per question and there are 4 questions.. fairly standard questions.. nothing technical

What were the questions? And did you speak for the full 90 seconds?

Does anyone have an idea on the timeline for when invites/rejections would be sent out once the current stage deadline has passed?

Think I’ll be struck down if I gave the questions out.. but they were just general questions.. nothing abstract really.. no I didn’t speak for 90 seconds for every question you can stop the recording when you have said all you can say..

The people who have to review all these might appreciate brevity!

All done. A pretty mixed bag and reactions was the only one I got full marks on. Took a lot out of me mentally I must say, fairly exhausted after it.

Think Verbal Reasoning despite smashing practice ones was probably my worst part as I approached it wrong. Mouse control did ok for the first few mins and then a bit of carnage. Similar for others. Arithmathic was straightforward. Maybe got 1/2 wrong.

I thought the video interview was grand as im used to presentations/video conferencing etc from work however i really should have kept it more concise. Not enough time for me.

All in all I would say an average performance but hopefully enough! These things are not designed to be easy.

Definitely think i fared much better overall than the last time i did similar.

Are you using the link from the second mail that was sent out, there were issues with the first one.

COR11

I just had the same problem? I was in the middle of mine and had 2 assessments left, when I finished 1 of them I got a message saying “Service Unavailable HTTP Error 503. The service is unavailable”

SarahSTARRR

Ah lads!!! We crashed the site and I only had 2 more tests to complete

COR11

What are the chances of them fixing it before 12....

SarahSTARRR

Seeing as its a Sunday, I'm not very confident

They’ll hardly reopen it tomorrow?

johnner_c

Yep. Was just about to do the video assessment...had given the example a bash twice (it's a nightmare btw lol) and then bam, site crashes. I'm gonna walk away for 20 minutes then come back and hopefully it's sorted!

I have emailed and asked if an extension will be granted due to the site going down so we'll have to wait and see I guess :mad:

They will have to re-open it and give some sort of an extension surely? Fingers crossed!
