Thanks for that.

Only really goes for an hour, then the last 30mins or so is spent checking IDs and filling in forms.

My advice is to be yourself... because otherwise your behaviour will be inconsistent and you may also say something stupid...

If you know you're a good actor then ignore the above

Well i made some stupid mistakes here and there, but nothing big like seriously...

I think they have limited amount of jobs available at present or in the future, and so many people attend group interviews so they are strict in selecting candidates.

Is not worth it, but it is a good experience it shows what you can fix up on for your future group interviews...

How long will it take after the group interview for the to call me or email me saying if i was successful or not. I went to a groupie interview about a week and a half ago and have got no reply yet does that mean i have not been accepted or do they tell those who are not accepted straight away and if you are accepted it takes them longer to call you?

i think they said the absolute maximum of replying to u after the group inteview is 3 weeks, whether they'll be saying ur successful or not

every1 gets a reply at different times, 4 me they replied a few hours after i left the interview saying i was successful, and my interview was a week and ago too, so now im just waiting .... again!

yep the process starts in July. Note the term 'process'. Its extremely long and drawn out, but by the sounds of it, a lot easier to get employed through.
