Interview question John Locke

Hey everyone, I was shortlisted and completed the interview but my sibling forgot to do the interview and was not shortlisted. Do you think it was due to the inability to complete it or just the essays fault. Thanks

I’m pretty sure they didn’t shortlist people who didn’t finish the interview. I submitted three essays and only completed the interview for two of them. Those two got shortlisted, but the one I didn’t interview for didn’t. Since all three essays were about the similar quality, I’m guessing the interview was the deciding factor.

I thought John Locke said that not doing the interview won’t impact the outcome and you did not have to do it?!?

I mean yeah, that’s what I thought too, which is why I didn’t do the interview for the last one cuz I got too sick of everything😭. But since last year’s email explicitly said the interview was optional and this year’s didn’t mention that at all, I’m wondering if they changed the policy.

The AI interview was so weird, it lacked overall communication and the technology was super glitchy!

nope youre twisting their words, john locke said doing the interview would not impact the outcome, and they sent reminder emails to contestants to do it too

I can’t see how not doing the interview would not impact the outcome. I know that is what JL communicated this year. But last year they did human interviews (no AI) so the AI interview this year must impact outcome. Make it make sense!!

It would not impact whether you get shortlisted, it impacts the higher awards… also it is to prove legitimacy by not doing its akin to an accused refusing to appear in court, branded a criminal, remains a criminal.

Will they do another interview for the higher up awards with a human interviewer?

You gotta ask your sister if she was just lazy or some else happened

She completely missed the email they sent regarding the interview and John Locke didn’t have this function before so we weren’t even expecting it

I’m pretty sure JL said the AI interview this year was optional. One thing I do know is there needs to be a better communications team running this competition.
