You probably have a email in your communications section from ~8/7 saying you're complete and they'll let you know when you're under review - I and it seems a few others haven't actually gotten this email in our inbox though

You are correct! Thanks for the details

Anyone heard about phone interviews?

 

[pre-spring]

Just submitted my application, how does this work? They send you an online assessment to complete and only then is your app finished. Also do they send the assessment to everyone or only select people.

Yes an online assessment is part of the secondary. Without it your app isn't complete. And I believe they send assessment to everyone.

 

[charactercomic2]

Does everyone get considered for a phone interview after the experience review is complete?

Wondering the same thing

 

[foodieventures]

Does everyone get considered for a phone interview after the experience review is complete?

Not sure if this answers your question but per MSAR only 800 applicants are invited for phone interviews. "The Phone Interview is focused on your personal attributes and lasts about 30 minutes. Approximately 800 candidates are invited and interviewers are blind to all application materials."

And then they interview 450 applicants from the 800 phone interviews.

 

[Boltman10]

Weird there don’t seem to have been any phone interview invites yet. They said they would start sending them out today on the portal.

Shoot you're right, I wonder if people have received them already and just aren't on SDN.

[lilbiochemist]

just completed my phone interview and i have no idea how i did lmao. interviewer was very friendly, even cracked a few jokes. per the advice from previous threads, i would say that there isn't a whole lot you could do to prepare. most of the questions were relatively conversational aside from 1 random question that seemed totally misplaced. good luck everyone, may the odds be every in our favor 🤘

 

[sdac]

Phone II received 8/23. Complete on 8/11 OOS
