[Rich.16]

I definitely will do. Heard they are only taking on one! Put me through all the assessments within a week!

Awww nice!! How did you find the assessments? When I was there it was 6 of us for final one and 3 got interviewed. Dunno how many they were looking for. Just make sure you got answers for all the star questions. As there's alot of them lol

The assessments were quite straight forward thought. There were a few questions that I thought I had messed up on but obviously didn't do as bad as I thought! I've been told they are experience based questions. E.g. when you were in a volatile situation, when you've helped someone and what do you think the role is about. Used STAR quite a lot in the past so hopefully it won't be too difficult. What sort of questions did they ask if you don't mind me asking?

Yh i was the same lol was surprised when i got the email to say i had passed lol yes they are all pretty much experience based and some about the job role and the company so just do some research about the station and the company. awww if you have used star before then you will be fine the questions i got were how did you deal with this situation and when have you do this sort of job role ect... but the people that did my interview were really nice and make it more of a chat than a exam as such so its nice when they know how ur feeling.

Hi Rich,
Had my interview yesterday, I feel like it went well. Also I feel like I could've done better on some questions but I did what I could. I'll find out on Friday whether i got it or not. Taking on 1 person and potentially putting a couple people in a talent pool. Only time will tell!
