I'm assuming the same will be for anyone who indicated a conflict in the survey. Hope this helps!

carrots Posted January 30, 2021 Report Share Posted January 30, 2021 Has anyone who is interviewing Feb 6 done the practice/technology test yet? I just completed it and I was under the impression that it would just be one practice question but there were 4 and when I was done it said "Well done! You have reached the end of your interview with the Temerty Faculty of Medicine, University of Toronto!". I know I'm probably just being neurotic and freaking out but that seemed a lot more official than I thought the technology test would be, and the neurotic part of me feels like I just did the real interview (but in plain clothes because I thought it was just the test) and didn't give great answers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually did the technology test, but didn't have my ID card thing prepped or the proper Official Government ID, and just kind of used it as a test to see if my audio qualioty was worknig or not. But seeing how official it was, its make me think that they might actyually REVIEW these videos to check for quality. I'm going to see if I can do the tech test again this time with the proper material and see if it works out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoenstly not sure if I can say as they make you sign a confidentiality contract, but they aren't like typical interview questions, more like random questions just for you to talk and respond to for practice. I don't see the questions they ask being the ones similar to the actual interview, at least I hope not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried changing location to see if it was an internet thing but it wasn't. So I think the video quality on the website is just not the best.

nrcplstake Posted January 31, 2021 Report Share Posted January 31, 2021 Yeah same... i only did the 1st 5 min question, and got too scared to continue.........

No I didn't get any kind of completion email, which was definitely reassuring!

sevenless Posted February 1, 2021 Report Share Posted February 1, 2021 I reached out to the VidCruiter staff and they said that the recruiter usually sets the video quality so I think it's intended! My guess it that they didn't see the point in making it so high quality for a practice round so we should be okay Student98, MMK, carrots and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lucia Posted February 4, 2021 Report Share Posted February 4, 2021 Has anyone been invited to interview on Mar 7 or 21? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFlyGuy Posted February 4, 2021 Report Share Posted February 4, 2021 21 hours ago, Jjjhsil said: have regrets come out yet? Usually only a smattering of Rs come out between Jan and March, with the big bulk of them in mid-Marsh (and a final few in late march or early April), so not unexpected for most people to have not heard just yet. 13 minutes ago, lucia said: Has anyone been invited to interview on Mar 7 or 21? These invites probably haven't been sent out at all just yet, usually happens about 2-3 weeks out from the date. For reference, last year the bulk of the invites for March 1st went out on Feb 14th. barromac 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmallTownGal Posted February 4, 2021 Report Share Posted February 4, 2021 I would guess invites for March 7th and 21st will go out around February 12th and 26th, respectively. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
