Whsmith Graduate Scheme

Hey!

I've applied for the Whsmith grad programme and was wondering if anyone has applied for the Whsmith Graduate scheme as well or previously. What is the process like, and how was the assessment centre?

I scheduled mine for the 28th. What about you? Also, it says in the confirmation email to send a reply email. Did you do that?

Did you get an automated email saying your interview isn’t confirmed? I checked the link they sent us and it said I was signed up so I don’t know why I received the email

No, I did not. Have you tried contacting them?

Yeah, I’ve sent two different emails and haven’t heard anything. Guess I will just have to see if they end up calling at my chosen time.

Did you just choose a time via the link sent saying you’re invited?

Yeah, that's the link I used. I hope they call you regardless. They need to make their recruitment team more accessible. When is your interview?

Nope, they didn’t end up calling. Reached out to them both through different emails and numbers, can’t get through so no idea what’s going on.

Did you try booking it again? It should give you the option to reschedule. Although, I am not sure if that would be viable since the day has passed.

I booked in for another day but I’m still not even sure that would work. So far haven’t gotten an email saying it isn’t confirmed though so maybe

I have emailed them. I also tried calling but to no avail. Did they reply to any of your emails?

Nope, no one has replied. I wonder if any other candidates had even got a call?
