Vodafone Global Enterprise and Group Technology 2011

Hey there. I applied some time ago and passed the telephone interview last Thursday. They sent me an email congratulating me that I have passed, but they will let me know if I had made it through to the final assessment centre by tomorrow. So I'm just unsure at the moment.hoping that I have been short listed though and I can't wait to find out!

@shush97: Even am on the same boat. but they never mentioned in my mail that they will let me know by 2mrw..could you please tell me a bit more abt this program? i tried searching about it everywhere and couldnt find any info..

Hi. Well I applied for tho discover Vodafone programme for Vodafone global enterprise. I think all the information will be on the enterprise website. Its a bit strange that you haven't received an email saying that they would let you know by today, I thought the deadline for them would be today as I'm told the assessment centre is on the 6th of July which is exactly one week from now.

Ah I'm terms of the info about the program itself I'm not entirely sure either! But I can only imagine that it would be similar to the Vodafone program so I looked up the graduate scheme for Vodafone on the website including the restaurant and assumed that it may be the same for Vodafone global enterprise. Did you get to choose your top 3 preferences of departments to work for in the telephone interview?

My mail says the experience day is gonna be on 25th july in Newbury and that i will hear from them only by mid july. May be i am not in the top list. i had also gone through the graduate scheme for vodafone on the website, though i have a feeling this one is not going to be the same.. :) i wish more people would join in here and give some feedback. they didnt ask me for top 3 departments to work for in the telephonic interview..did they ask you? what background are you from? mine is computer science

ah right, must be a different scheme then. my mail tells me that assessment centre for me is 6th July in London and that i hear back from them today. I actually rang them up to see what's happening and was told that I should have an answer by the end of today. If i pass, I wonder what would be conducted in the experience day. looked at some discussion threads on this site about general vodafone's passed experience days, and some of them involved candidates to create and prepare a video presentation about themselves! that is of course not Vodafone Global Enterprise so it could be different and Alice you could be right.

@Alice my background is information systems, Business, and accounting, though i'm veering towards IT and project management. yeah they asked me at the end of the telephone interview out of the five they have, which three departments are preferred.

All the best for the result. Do let us know if you pass to the experience day.

@Shush...

I have received the e-mail that I have passed the interview and they will let me know whether I will be shortlisted soon. Actually during the telephone interview I was told that they will let me know about experience by today only but not in the mail. The experience day is same as you on 6th July.

What were your three preferences ?...and are you a domestic candidate ?

@ronnie81

i chose 1st choice M2M, followed by marketing, and finally commercial... though i sorta wished i put marketing as third choice.

if by domestic you mean I live in the UK then yes.

Still not received the email.... but im off to nando's now. I guess i shall find out when i get back!

regards

I guess we will find out tomorrow!

Yes, I got the same mail from them. Let's see how tomorrow pans out..;-)

I'm in the same boat and got the same mail about getting reply tomorrow! (After emailing them at 5:15pm today) I was checking my emails all day; the mail I got definitely said short-lists by 29th.. good luck for tomorrow everyone :)

Any update guys ?

No news, very frustrating..!

nope :(

i'm not too sure if we re gonna have enough time for the assessment centre at this rate :S i hope the assessment centre isn't gonna be too intensive in reflection to this.

Surely they can't push it back another day?? It feels like results day and it's not even the end of the last stage!

) Got through. How'd you guys do?

Well done..haven't heard anything till now...did they call or send a mail ?...what were your 3 preferences ?

Email at 4:57.. it says that there are 20 people in the final round. I think my 3 were sales, marketing and commercial but not 100%.. plus it was only because the interviewer didn't have info with them on customer ops and m2m. How about you?

hey. i didnt get through :( i am on the reserve list

sent a mail stating they have put me in a reserve list...no idea what so ever about what is that....:-o

@Ronnie the mail I received was blatant that I haven't been short listed but on the reserve list so if any one drops out they will let me know. Though I don't think I'm gonna hold my breath! I wish you all the best of luck.

have sent u message in wikijob..check that one out...

Thanks for sharing your experience so far ...and good luck to everyone.. am on d technology stream.. so its mid July for any AC news!

even am on the technology stream..i was wondering y they had kept it to mid july for me..so u passed ur telephonic interview right? r u from uk?

Hi everyone,

I am on the technology stream too, passed my telephone interview last month and I'm waiting for my invitation to the ED on 25Th in Newbury

Hey, See you all in London on Wed!!

Where iseveryone staying??? Can anyone recomend a good place to stay?? Im heading to London tomorrow.

@Alice1987 @traier @successfull - I'm on the technology stream too and am waiting on an invitation to the Assessment Day on the 25th in Newbury (bit of an awkward place to get to!!) I've got a background in Comp Sci as well, but don't really know what to expect from the day if I get invited.

They seem to be a bit cagey about dishing out invitations, I just got a call from the lady that did my telephone interview and she said they should be out some time next week I think.

hi did anyone get offered today?

Hey - yeah I did. You too?

Not yet, When did you get yours Sussannah? Did you call them or sent an email?

i did but was at work and couldn't take the call - she said i had an offer and would hear back Monday

did they go in to detail about what position they had for you... or anything else?

they turned that over faster than i thoguht

Do you think that they would have contacted the 5/6 (possibly more) that they were looking to hire, all today?..

I won't be one of the lucky ones if that's the case!

Whoops sorry @craig k - meant I got an offer to come to this assessment day. I did not get a job lol, but that's really exciting! Well done, you must be chuffed :-)

@successfull I got an email today just saying that I was invited on the 25th and then asking me to confirm attendance. I'm not sure how they're figuring it out exactly, although I'm sure you'll hear soon!

Yes I believe I will get my invitation on Monday. Thanks alot.

Good luck guys. Hope u all will go well. I am at my telephonic interview that is on 11 July 12.00. I am confused as I have no idea how to prepare for. can anyone suggest me or share personal experience. What kind of question they ask.

I have one of the persons who attended already an AC at London. For me it seems very surprising that more people are going to attend the assessment day as they clearly promised that out of 20 of us they will choose 5-6 right? And now they take 20 more? Then chances to be top2 in your batch of 20 is rather low to be honest.

@jarmos78 I think there's an assessment day on the 25th of July for those who've applied for the technology stream. Nothing to do with the vge assessment day which we went to on the 6th.. That's my take on the thread above.

thank you Karen!

I've been invited to the assessment day next Monday! Has anyone else?? Going to start preparing this week, really nervous,!! Does anyone know what to expect..?? It seems really casual with just the group exercise and interview?! Lol

I am put in the reserve list. Not sure about this list. I called the lady before short listing and she told me everything is fine and then they put me in the reserve list. How was your online test and telephone interview and what was your percentile in the test.

Apparently I read on the website I you've been put on a reserve list it means you haven't got through, you'll be like a back up if someone changes their mind or fails to turn up etc I think??!! I dont know what I got in the test, I didnt ask! N my telephone interview in my opinion could have gone better but I got through to the final stage so I'm not complaining . I'm actually heading up to newbury tmro cos it's too far me for me to drive in the morning, eek!!

Thanks for reply and good luck for the day...

Thank you

Hey everyone. The Vodafone Global Enterprise applications have started again for this year. Can someone who has gone through this last year please write a little bit about what the questions were on the telephone interview and what the activities at the assessment center were?

Thank you so much.
