I just got an email saying I'm being called to stage 2, but only for my last CoCo choice. I'm kind of regretting putting that choice down now if I'm being honest!

Hi I just got an email also, tbh I totally forgot about it all. Wondering what to do.

After reading the comment threads on the interview process seems like I may need to do a lot of thinking. The industry I’m in is completely different to the role I applied for but I have run my own business for the last 10 years + just wanted a change.

I got an email also, looks like for two different areas.

Hi - just wondering what counties you got called for?

I've attached a screenshot of the counties and oom being called forward😊

Presumably it’s a live interview, or is it just an an online questionnaire type thing ?

Are you going ahead with it Seethat? I'm trying to prepare my answers now but I find the process very very boring, and it's hard to stay on task. I'm also finding it hard to focus on the camera when I'm reading. May need to memorise my answers...ugh.

Same here! It's so difficult and my brain hurts from trying to make sure I hit all the competencies. Have a feeling I'm going to fall well short because I'm really struggling to translate my existing experience (clincial/Healthcare Management) to something relatable for LA.

Oh I just paraphrased the examples of competencies I gave in the application form. But I had to read them out which I probably shouldn't have done! I can imagine clinical experience would be difficult to translate into competencies alright, the priorities are totally different.

What is the timeline for the results at this stage? I've already heard back about an internal competition and I submitted the application the day before I did the Sonru interview.

Would be interested to know also. I think they took around 3-4 weeks last time..
I have to say I hated doing the video, would have ratcheted a written test😂. It was blatantly obvious that I was reading something!

God a month seems so long when it's only to get to stage 2!

Redchick wrote: »

Was the video interview not stage 2? And how many stages are there? I thought the face to face (remote) interview was the final stage.

But yup a month is ages alright. Maybe someone who's already been through the process will let us knowðŸ‘

Tbh I'm not sure, you might be right. I think the interview is the next & last stage, whatever number it is. I doubt I got through but I'd prefer the hammer to fall quickly!

I believe the results of the video interviews will be released early this week.

I went through the process already. There are 3 stages:

(1) Psychometric Test
(2) Video Upload
(3) Final Interview via Zoom

In the first tranche of 200, the number was whittled down to 93 after video upload and 50 qualified after final interview.

Best of luck!

Thanks a mil for that info. Just waiting on thr notification now. Although I don't think I'll make it through to final stage. Will definitely be much better prepared for the next campaign😊

Did anything happen with this competition after the first 200 people were called forward, does anyone know? I haven’t heard anything and with my OOM I would have been expecting to have heard something further on this competition long ago let alone at this stage. Weird competition this.

Thanks for the update. Any idea if they only called people for certain local authorities?
