Nationwide interview

Which programme have you applied for?

I applied to the generalist, graduate and industrial placement scheme.

I'm slightly confused by it now,

I passed their competency test and numerical/verbal tests. According to the website the next stage should be the interview stage, however on their website i've booked my interview and it now says this.

Interview type
Graduate and Industrial Placement schemes 08/01/09 14:00 Group Assessment

Group assessment should be the final stage according to the website though, that should come after the interview. I have previously worked at Nationwide, just in a contact centre not an internship. So I don't know if maybe they have moved me forward because I did perform well there.

Has anyone else had this with Nationwide?

Thanks!

don't worry!! it said this on mine as well, but mine wasn't a group assessment, it was a one to one interview, lasted about 20-30 mins. They asked me why i chose my degree course, what i enjoyed about it, how's the credit crunch affecting nationwide, and a few competency questions. I got through to the assessment centre, so if anyone has had one, if they could let me know what happens?! Thanks

When is your A/C guys?

I have booked mine for 28th January in Oxfordshire

@Sarah137,

Which programme has you applied for?

ok, thanks for that Sarah, How long did they take to tell you that you were through to the assessment centre?

Mines in oxford as well, on 20th jan. I applied for group strategy and planning, but they said that was full so i applied for treasury. I had my interview on 11th dec, got told i would know in 5 days, but i didnt find out till 29th! could be because of christmas though. Good luck with your interview/assessment centre!

Hey guys, how did your assessment days go? any tips? Hope that the day went well for you!

Hi anyone can share their questions for telephone interview for the graduate programs?
I am going to have mine on the 25th Jan.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi @chronk I assume you have had your telephone interview now..Please can you share your experience.

Regards

hi yes, the questions are:
Why nationwide?
Why the financial services industry?
Why nationwide not other banks/building society?
What skills you can bring?

Competencies
A time you persuaded someone to your viewpoint?
A time you completed a project?
A time how you responded to constructive feedback?

GL!!

The interviewer i had was very friendly, one of the best experience i had.
