I have done it before in 2011. It's role playing with the standard interview part only maybe 1 hour from the whole day. Did you have the phone interview yet?

I did the medical yesterday....
Stage 1 Phone screen
Stage 2 half day, 4 x aptitude tests, 1 group discussion/role play, 1 interview questionaire on paper.
Stage 3 1hr approx, 2 on 1 interview
Provisional offer
Stage 4 medical + reference check

I don't know what the wages are as I dont have a contract yet.
I just hope its worth taking!

aptitude was ok,
interview was a competency, so preperation needed.

I think the 11mnth contracts are a form of probation period, weed out the ones that they dont want.

Yes, some people stay longer.

You are on a good way, as you got through all of the parts.

It would be great for me to get even to the tests stage.

Good luck!

Interesting, I thought cpl were the only agency, it also says permanent.

gar32 · 01-03-2016 02:52PM

CPL said I would get a call last week. I haven't. Maybe some issues there. I hope not as I would really like this job.

You got an 'offer' ? medical done etc?

gar32 · 01-03-2016 03:02PM

No just for interview or not

dobsdave · 01-03-2016 03:11PM

Ah, I went through Pfizer, CPL only involved since medical/references stage.

gar32 · 01-03-2016 03:29PM

Let's hope it better than the 2011. People waited 9 months to find out if they got the job or not.

You would get email from Pfizer rep first, before phone call interview..

dobsdave · 01-03-2016 06:52PM

As I said earlier, I have been offered a position, medical done, waiting on contract.

Yes, yes sorry. I did mix you with gar32.
I'm glad for you.
They still interviewing people. Next one is on the march 11-12th.
It takes weeks ...you are there! Don't worry

gar32 · 01-03-2016 07:54PM

After the interview in March 2011 which I did I called in September as I was offered another job. That's 6 months later & they could not give me an answer. I will just take things as they come. I have a job and would change if offered this one.

Good luck with interview & contact's
