Interview
I applied online and was asked to fill out a section on personal details including all grades from 16 and up - I then uploaded my CV and cover letter and passed initial screening so was invited to take part in an assessment - this was part situational and part numerical - then i got invited to a hirevue where i was asked mostly competency questions with about 30 seconds to prep for one minute answ3ers
Interview Questions
Tell me about a time you dealt with uncertainty? How did you proceed? What did you learn from this opportunity?

Tell me about why you applied to this firm and this role

Tell me about a time you had to work in a team


Each of these had 30 seconds of preparation time for one minute answers - you only had one opportunity to record yourself for each question - there was a practice question that i think was there for you to get a feel for the style of the interview and double check for any technical difficulties
