It's a valid question
 
It's a valid question if you are making a life plan/investment.
I hear through a grapevine about £35k for starters, perhaps with training costs deducted depending on lots of things.. IR/No IR.. etc.

Has anyone heard anything from Bond as to when the interviews are going to be? OAT said they'd be confirmed with 7-10 days 2 weeks ago(ish) but nothing (that I know of) has been mentioned.

Thanks, JK.

snowy_owl 25th Oct 2007 16:43

Make your mind up...

On 12th October you said:

"Laggie - I'm really sorry to hear that!! :bored::bored: Selection was certainly tough at oxford, especially the personality profiling bit, i thought that'd catch me out!

Anyone else got an email yet, i just got mine a minute ago! Guess i'll be really begging the bankers for some money now! :sad:"

Now you say you haven't heard anything???

snowy_owl 25th Oct 2007 17:23

O27PMR - I heard i got through to stage 3 - now people who got that email are waiting for the email with the dates for stage 3!

snowy_owl 25th Oct 2007 22:32

We should expect a reply within the next 2-3 days!! - i got a reply to the email i sent :)

snowy_owl 29th Oct 2007 10:53

Anyone heard anything yet? i'm hoping we'll get an email by the end of today! But i thought that for all the previous days too! :\

Easy snowy, good things come to those that wait, and wait!! Cant be much longer now..............

I feel your pain Snowy and wish I was in your shoes!

I've been monitoring this thread ever since I had to pull out of phase 1 selection for family reasons and I am almost as eager to know the outcome as you are!

Good luck to you all.

Just re-iterating la james, good luck to those with interviews. Good idea now to find out about the company, polish up your interview techniques from books you can borrow at the library, make sure your shoes are clean. Prepare yourself for possible questions, why you instead of the other guys, what do you bring etc.

According to the 'planned timeline' we should be having interviews right about now!!

Anyone heard anything yet? Apparently bond are trying to get the rosta sorted for us.

Anonymous_Post 5th Nov 2007 14:22

In relation to the waiting for the interviews, a message has been forwarded to from another user about the process!!

It may just be a rumour, but hust thought it's best others should know what has been said!


*******, it's all in the message. However:

They chose the people so soon because they knew what they wanted.
I know about it all, because I know someone who went to stage 2, passed, got the hush hush phone call and went to Aberdeen and did the stage 3 interview. All this before the rejects were told. He was told, explicitly, by OAT, that the stage 3 interviews were to be done BEFORE the reject one's went out. So to keep quiet.

I have no affiliation with Bond or OAT. I simply did not wish to see you posting on the thread asking questions, while others were having a chuckle at your, or other hopefullss, expense. Thats not on.
Bloody good luck in all that you do

snowy_owl 5th Nov 2007 15:12

Woooo finally a date and time :):):):):):)

BasilFaulty 5th Nov 2007 19:50

Anonymous Post : What are you trying to say?

Are you saying Bond has selected their chosen few already, and are just interviewing the remaining 'no-hopers' as a matter of course?

Whirlygig 5th Nov 2007 19:54

Makes sense to me. Why tell those who didn't get through initially until those who did get through have accepted? Happens widely in recruitment. Those invited for stage 3 interviews may not have a) wanted to go in the end b) decided they couldn't afford it or c) failed the interview.

Therefore, I would imagine Bond would go back to OAT and ask about the others.

Cheers

Can anyone enlighten us any further?

Anonymous_Post 5th Nov 2007 20:05

Well as i say, i recieved this message from someone else, so i don't know if they were just trying to stir things or had a sore-spot!

But dates were recieved tonight and therefore i doubt that they'd have people pay out for medicals and travel to aberdeen just to have some sort of formality in underhandidly accepted people before the set interviews!!

You may think that but I can't possibly comment;)
