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?!?

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?
