    So you don't even know what city you are starting in in two weeks?? I would definitely ring them asap.

    I have, HR just keep saying I'll be informed by the end of August when everything is finalised. Belfast or anywhere in the North isn't too bad, but London or Bristol would be a bit of a challenge especially where accommodation is concerned. I dropped HR another email there. Hopefully I'll find out soon.

    Hi Everyone!

    Just wondering has anyone done the situational judgement questionnaire and the two aptitude tests that Bank of Ireland have sent by email for the BOI Graduate program 2015?

    Yep I done them over the weekend. Found them pretty hard myself particularly with the timer over your head.

    Think I only got to mid-twenties question wise in the two aptitude tests. Don't think I'll be hearing anything back.

    I can't see which area would include marketing/communications or sales side of the grad programme?

    Did the video interview this morning myself. My first time ever doing one so was a bit strange for me. Not really expecting to hear anything back in terms of a positive response.

    You never know it might have been a good interview! Some people are the exact same situation you were in doing it for the first time.

    Can I ask if it was a difficult interview? Anything surprising?

    That's true, I wasn't expecting anything after the aptitude tests so I guess you never know.

    It was difficult for me as I just found it strange to be talking in to my computer with nobody on the other side. I was expecting a Skype interview kind of situation. Was asked two fairly standard questions and given about a minute to answer each one. Nothing too mad really but like I said,not expecting to progress!

    I am sure you did better than you thought. The idea of a video interview is challenging enough. Were the Qs competency based or why you want to work for us type Qs?

    Hey Everyone,

    I'm new on this but it's a great thread so said I'd better join up!

    Anyone know how long after completing the aptitude tests would you hear back if you have got to the video interview stage?

    Sorry lads was in college all day today. They were just two fairly standard questions, an example of when you went the extra mile,why do you want to be on the programme etc.

    I finshed mine on Saturday and got an email on Monday.

    Don't worry if you havn't heard anything yet. Some companies take a week to get back to you after completing tests!

    Has anyone that has already done the video interview hear from BOI yet? Or know when we might hear from them regarding the Assessment Centre?

    I did the assessment centre last Saturday I think, heard back at lunchtime today about the Video Interview, given 3 days to do it. there was about 1200 applicants last year to the entire programme so it'll take time to get back to people, I wouldn't worry if there is a delay.

    Hi guys, to the people who got through to the interview stage (in particular corporate and treasury), how did you all fare in the online assessments? Did you do better in numerical than verbal? Found them tricky enough myself!

    @The Parish King,

    I made a show of myself in the verbal assessment, but I thought I did well in the Numerical. It took 6-7 days to get back to me for the interview stage then.
