PIPlease	Posted - 04 February 2010 15:46 I applied for VAC Scheme for this year and TC - wondering if anyone has heard something. Someone at my Coll was mumbling something about phone interviews for vac already....
PIPlease	Posted - 06 February 2010 23:22 Report as offensive Anyone......??
Furbz	Posted - 07 February 2010 10:53 Report as offensive They called me up earlier this week and gave me a phone interview. Was totally without warning - so watch out for that one. I applied for the VS, and they called me about 3 days after I submitted my app!
brogan123	Posted - 08 February 2010 12:14 Report as offensive Hey I have a phone interview coming up with them too...any heads up on questions they ask???
Furbz	Posted - 08 February 2010 16:22 Report as offensive They told you!? Maybe someone screwed up with me. Wasn't too bad: competency focused, teamwork ,leadership and the usual suspects. Hit up wikijob on competency based interviews and that should cover all bases! Good luck!
PaPa	Posted - 08 February 2010 17:25 Report as offensive Have they changed their recruitment process? I'm sure on their site it says app form -> half day assess centre (no mention of tel. int)
Furbz	Posted - 08 February 2010 23:16 Report as offensive I know! This is why it took me by surprise!
PaPa	Posted - 08 February 2010 23:21 Report as offensive Hey Furbz, Just found out about a possible tel interview with IM - apart form competencies - will they go over my app? Any tricky qs and how long will the interview last roughly? Any help appreciated.
Furbz	Posted - 09 February 2010 09:06 Report as offensive They didn't for me. It was literally 5 competency based Qs, I guess to compensate for the lack of them on their application form.
rubyruby	Posted - 09 February 2010 12:30 Report as offensive same here, i had a telephone interview about 3 days after i submitted my app. wasnt difficult but q stressful and i was v nervous which didnt help :-( still waiting to hear, has anyone else heard anything?x
brogan123	Posted - 11 February 2010 11:11 Report as offensive yeah same here phone interview was 5 questions witha typist she said 10 days wait to hear if u get ac invite
Furbz	Posted - 11 February 2010 11:27 Report as offensive Strange, eh? Ah well, my 10 days is almost up - which I guess means bad news =/
tina86	Posted - 11 February 2010 11:51 Report as offensive guys what offices have you applied to?
Furbz	Posted - 11 February 2010 11:56 Report as offensive London here!
PIPlease	Posted - 11 February 2010 13:13 Report as offensive Has anyone heard from Birmingham? I am hoping (purely wishful) that like some firms they sort out the masses in London first and then the regions.......could be wishful......as ever.....
PaPa	Posted - 14 February 2010 23:42 Report as offensive Any post-interviewees heard yet? Surely if the answer was yes they wouldn't make us wait 10 days.. and why did they have to inc a tel int as part of the assess..I detest em!!
Furbz	Posted - 15 February 2010 08:51 Report as offensive Nope, nothing yet. It was sneaky, but I guess its a good way of filtering out those that bs on their application forms.
RiverThames	Posted - 15 February 2010 09:36 Report as offensive Last year, I applied for a TC and heard nothing for ages. So, assuming I was still in the selective process, I send them some new info on my CV and stuff. About 20 min later, I got the auto response saying I was not successful etc. They are either too busy or they just can`t bother to PFO.
danebster112	Posted - 15 February 2010 13:29 Report as offensive i just got a phone call from IM this morning for the sheffield office, they wanted to do the interview today but i said tomorrow! did they ask any questions about the firm or was it just competency based?
danebster112	Posted - 15 February 2010 22:56 Report as offensive I have my phone interview tomorrow morning and starting to panic, I havnt really prepared anything ....any advice on what they ask? and how long it is?
rubyruby	Posted - 16 February 2010 09:39 Report as offensive anyone heard anything good/bad?
danebster112	Posted - 16 February 2010 11:32 Report as offensive Just had mine, was a bit of a mess-i asked when i would hear back and he said he didn't know but within a month!!
mkj881	Posted - 16 February 2010 12:20 Report as offensive I had my telephone interview 3 weeks ago and not heard back - can't be a good sign really?
Furbz	Posted - 16 February 2010 12:32 Report as offensive They said 10 working days when I had mine....
danebster112	Posted - 16 February 2010 12:58 Report as offensive Do you think there interviewing everyone who applied? I wouldn't worry if you havnt heard back, they'll talk to everyone first probably, I think ther a bit disorganized to be honest.
Sazzle353	Posted - 16 February 2010 23:20 Report as offensive Heya, I think they are shortlisting candidates on Friday 19th February for the assessment centre following all the phone interviews :o)
mkj881	Posted - 17 February 2010 14:47 Report as offensive Just had Irwin on the phone asking me to book in for a telephone interview - even though I've already had one! So it sounds like they are doing a masss pre-screening process if they managed to duplicate my name! Anyway they said we should hear back before the end of the month. Fingers crossed!
Furbz	Posted - 17 February 2010 19:42 Report as offensive Called them today. They said they outsource the telephone interviews and the company who are undetaking it on behalf of IM have been delayed. Could be up to 4 weeks longer.

lawstudent85	Posted - 17 February 2010 19:53 Report as offensive Oh great...more waiting!! Thanks for that though it'll prob stop us all from thinking no reply = bad news!
rubyruby	Posted - 18 February 2010 16:37 Report as offensive Just had an email inviting me to AC
Furbz	Posted - 18 February 2010 16:51 Report as offensive Wow, congrats!! Which office did you apply for?
lawstudent85	Posted - 18 February 2010 17:04 Report as offensive well done!! I won't pretend i'm not jealous though! checking my emails every 5 seconds now! Anyone else heard anything?
lawstudent85	Posted - 18 February 2010 17:05 Report as offensive in fact... when did you have your telephone interview?
rubyruby	Posted - 18 February 2010 17:07 Report as offensive think it was 2 weeks ago ish, for Leeds office
Furbz	Posted - 18 February 2010 17:08 Report as offensive Hm. I had my interview 2 weeks ago also, but applied for the London office. I'm gonna comfort myself by assuming they're working north to south xD
lawstudent85	Posted - 18 February 2010 17:16 Report as offensive Good plan - I applied to London too. Only had mine last Monday. I know someone who has got one tomorrow also. I'm slightly annoyed that some people seem to have been notified of when their interviews will be though, and some people have just had a nice morning surprise!!!!
Econ&Law	Posted - 23 February 2010 19:05 Report as offensive Hi, I applied a week before deadline and im quite surprise that people say the telephone interview was unexpected because they sent me text asking me to book one and I chose the date and time. This was all before the deadline. I was told I would be contacted within 10 working days but have heard nothing. So i phoned them and they said it would be a nother 2 weeks! Assessment centres are suppose dto be in March so they are leaving it a bit late.
Econ&Law	Posted - 23 February 2010 19:09 Report as offensive I also applied for London office. HI Ruby, What date were you given for the AC?
alma_de_cuba	Posted - 23 February 2010 22:36 Report as offensive has everyone been invited to complete a telephone interview...do you know anybody that hasn't? I was just wondering if candidates had been short listed to get to this stage or not?
PIPlease	Posted - 23 February 2010 23:25 Report as offensive I haven't and feeling a bit miffed!!!!! Had high hopes for IM!
Furbz	Posted - 24 February 2010 00:01 Report as offensive I think this warning/no warning regarding phone interviews was a little reckless...so just to clarify no one has heard from London yet?
lawstudent85	Posted - 24 February 2010 20:48 Report as offensive No still nothing... had phone interview over 2 weeks ago now. they said 10 days but... Emailed them yesterday but no reply...
