Ah dammit, I thought you meant the email responding the video interview.

I didnt receive an email so I emailed someone and they said it was sent even though I didnt get it. Best email them and ask to reissue it.

I completed the online tests but heard nothing back either. I just assumed I wasn't successful. I might email them and see, could be worth a try I suppose. Did you just ask if you were successful or not?

I didn't receive an email about the online tests so I asked it to be reissued. I received the email about the video interview straight after I completed the online tests. I assumed that everybody gets to do the online tests and interview.

I haven't heard anything since I submitted the online tests. Not sure whether I should email them or not, or what to even ask. Don't want to look like I expected a video interview if not everyone receives one

None, was talking to someone who got it last year and she said everything is about a 4/5 week wait time

Yeah they took about two weeks to get back to me, mine is Tuesday C&T. Pretty nervous about it how did you find it?

Credit and market risk, just wondering if anybody has interviewed for it.

Loop101

It was for retail, the assessment centre isn't bad just be yourself and you will be fine

lo4150

cool that makes me feel less nervous !

How long did yours take? is the individual component a presentation?


Thanks a mil !

JToby

Loop101

Speak of the devil, I have an appointment for the assessment day next week. For people who have already been, what was it like?

LUHG

has anyone done the accounting and finance assessment centre day yet?

Zonda999

I've got the assessment day tomorrow afternoon, supposedly it goes on for three hours around. Anyone know what to expect? As to whether its all groupwork or individual interviews

dashman

Have mine on Monday. Anyone got any tips?

For me I think the process took maybe 4 to 6 weeks after the assessment centre.

shellbm

Has anyone who went for compliance and operational risk heard back ?

fungie

Anybody heard back since the interviews?

SAH93

Did anyone get any sort or rejection letter? Very frustrating to just not have heard anything from them!

fungie

I got a offered a place on Thursday.

SAH93

Hey all,

I am going to the assessment centre on the 14th for Corporate and Treasury.

I'd like to know if anyone has insights about what the Graduate Programme would be like.

I'm hesitating to attend the interview as I am unsure whether the programme would be a good fit for me.

My background is not traditional (Politics and Economics student, one year internship in lobbying for financial services firms) and I am worried the role would be exclusively putting together stuff on Excel and punching numbers. I like work that has a big picture component to it and am a bit off a politics nerd and would love for my work to reflect that...any advice?

Thanks!

Hi there!

Also going to the assessment centre on the 14th for C+T. Nice to hear from someone else. Posted on another thread to see if there were others here but I didn't get a reply. As far as I was aware, the program gives you the fantastic opportunity to rotate through 3 departments so as to get a flavour for the area.

I'm already in the industry in an entry level position so using it as an opportunity to move up the ranks.

Quick question, did you have to do a video interview? I read that it was a requirement but my application went straight from the online testing to the assessment centre. Also, there doesn't seem to be a pre prepared 6 minute presentation either. Has the process been changes since the last one?

Hey, nice to hear from another candidate

For me the process went online application --> online tests --> video interview (wasn't in front of someone but rather recording answers) --> assessment centre. From what I understand the assessment centre is the last step and will comprise of group and individual exercises and an individual interview. According to the email we don't have to prep anything (apart from pictures/copies of certificates) so no presentation I guess.

Do you know of any resources about the programme so I could get a better idea of what the work would be like? I have no idea what the position entails so far apart from what was in the very short description on their website and really would love more info in order to decide whether it'd be a good fit for me, before spending an afternoon interviewing and the day before prepping for it!!

Going by the same information as you. Seems to be an overview of corporate and treasury banking with Bank of Ireland with three rotations. On their group website you can get more information about the three separate departments.

I would say the best thing to do would be to send on any questions you have to Rachael.

Hi all, anyone else get called back for a final interview?
