I thought the base salary for most cadetships were 30K, but they have bonuses and other incentives.

Well, i liked the interviewers from today (i didnt have vanessa) better than last times, maybe because i was less nervous - i felt i did better in this one than last time, but im not sure because the man didn't ask me any questions at all, just the lady. The questions weren't too tricky - nothing unexpected, pretty much the same stuff as the other interviews.
When's your interview?

Lol..role play..well i didn't get that - mine was just a straight interview like the others we had. I had two interviewers, one from HR and the other from IT. I'm guessing that our interview structures are different because we had different area preferences - i was interviewed for the IS position. I was told we would be contacted by the end of the week.
good luck to you for thursday!

I don't know about that, but they did say something about meeting some managers.

But from what I gathered, they were going to make the decision now.

I don't get it - will there be a 3rd round interview, where they interview and cut down more people, or is this basically it and you get the cadetship?

I was under the impression that when they contact you on Wednesday, it will be an offer or not?

What do you guys think?

That's what I thought, I think that you meet the managers if you are offered the cadetship and you accept.

Well for Zurich there's the initial interview and if you get through that, there's another interview with the managers before you get chosen. So that makes 2 interviews with Zurich and 3 including the one with Alister/Joanne of Business Cadetships.

I said I wanted underwriting. Does the division affect whether they accept you? Like if i'm the only one going for underwriting, does anyone think my chances increase?
