Hey! Has anyone interviewing at Bangor next week heard about their panel members? In the original invite pack it said panel member information will follow but not heard anything yet.

Not sure how long to leave it before sending a polite email asking! Thanks in advance

I was just querying the same thing. I was thinking of waiting until Thursday/Friday since interviews start on Monday.

What day is your interview?

Glad it’s not just me! My interview is the Thursday so was thinking of emailing end of this week also. When’s yours?

Mine is on Wednesday. I emailed, but haven't heard anything back so starting to wonder if we will?

First year Essex trainee here, well done! The interview isn’t easy at all. You should be so proud of yourself . Good luck with the reserve list

Thank you Alolom! It was a really difficult and long day but the interviewers made it as pleasant as they could! Do you know how much the reserve list has moved in previous years? Thanks again!

Just got an email today with the interview panel members! I like how they all wrote their personal stories and messages of good luck. Good luck on Wednesday! Fingers crossed for us!

Did Birmingham do a selection test this year (as advertised)? I received an invite last year with much less experience but this year it was a straight up email rejection. What's been other's experience?

There wasnt a selection test this year, it was straight to interviews so based solely on application.
