Santander Graduate schemes 09

I would call and ask to transfer programmes before the reject you straight out.

I hope you did well in your test. Do you know whether Santander use SHL for their test or not?

Thanx in advance

Hey has anyone recently done their tests? I just did mine and although i found the numerical one okay (though i did miss out like 5 due to time running out) the verbal one threw me off completely!! Normally i'm okay with verbal tests, but with this one i found the passages to be pretty long and complex. Just have to play the waiting game now and see what happens

Oh and in response to the comment above - i know its late but santander use PSL

hey grad2009 - just wondering have you had a reply from santander about the scheme? I passed the online tests about a month ago (for finance scheme) and was emailed they will compare everyones marks before deciding who they take through to next stage. just wondering if you in the same boat as me?

Yeah I got the same email today, they said they'll be comparing the marks after they complete all the online testing. The internal audit deadline wasn't that long ago so I'm guessing the testing is still going on.

Has anyone got an idea when the next Assessment Centre for SATANDER PBA role is taking place? Please. thanks

Hi All,
Can you please tell me how tough the verbal and numerical assessments are? I need to take the test - is it similar to GMAT level?
Thanks

Hi all,

I Just had my telephone interview for the PBA role and passed. I have just been sent an email saying they will let me know the details of the next stage, which is the assessment centre. Is anyone in the same situation??? Is anyone going to an Assessment Centre soon? Or has anyone been informed of the next assessment centre day??

Please; Thanks

hi
can anyone share their experience with the A/C? i am going soon and I do not know what to expect, I will be grateful for any advice!! thanks

Kaczkat, unfortunately I don't think many people are using these Santander threads this year... I am waiting for an AC atm as well - for Internal Audit. What have you applied for and when is your AC?

Good Luck with your AC. Hope it goes well, let us know how you get on.

FY

its tomorrow - when is yours??

Tomorrow as well - so are you IA too?

Honestly, I'm really nervous atm. This is my first assessment centre, so I'm not really sure what to expect.

I guess I'll see you tomorrow!

nothing on wikijob what to expect :)
we will see! see you tomorrow!
my name is Kasia by the way ;)

Hey it would be great if you guys could share your experience at the AC

Good luck to you both :-)

it was pretty standard a/c.
first there was a numeracy test, then some written exercise, competency interview and group work. i found the team work the worst thing as i felt more like during the recruitment of the sales or marketing people rather than auditors. but over all very nice HR people, lunch, interviewers.
good luck

thanks for the input. i dont about other banks but it feels like santander is a lot into sales in every role. i used to work for them and have now applied for grad role. i think as an internal auditor u will be working in the branches and the staff there hate the auditors!!!

good luck.

Hi I hope it went well. I've applied for a position too and i have an assement day soon - but so far have been told very little. Was yours the full day? Could you share the types of q's asked and the group and written exercises, what were they like? Any help appreciated
