I got to final stages for a graduate position with Scottish water 3 years ago. To get as far as interview stage I had to:
1 a Fill out the application form which included submitting cv, covering letter and 500 words or less as to why. I would fit the role and why I wanted to work for the company.
2 - Do a 45 minute long interview speaking to a webcam at home and feeling like a twat
3 - Do various numeracy, literary competency tests and situational judgement tests that took maybe 2-3 hours
I was then selected for the final stage of the process which took place at a Hilton at 9 am which involved:
A one hour group exercise when you need to work together to establish the order in which you would empty items of a sinking yacht whilst HR wankers sat around us taking notes.
A one hour long probing interview carried out by 1 HR and 1 person who you could potentially be working under.
A data analysis test when you have an hour to review various tenders for a project and choose the one you think is best to submit to your boss.
A ten minute presentation about what you would bring to the role.
Another 25+ minute interview when they asked the most knobbish questions imaginable.
Was 1430 by the time I got out of there without having any lunch and I received a generic email 2 weeks later saying thanks but no thanks.
For the job I’m at currently I met my now at boss at the Burger King next to the Dakota in South Queensferry after work one day and got offered the job the next day.
It sounds like Scottish Water has a more robust interview process that Burger King.4 -

Re: Drinkwater.
Chelsea could have just promoted a youth player to fill their quota. The truth is that Drinkwater was in form in a good Leicester team and played for England.
See also Nicky Butt and Jordan Henderson for mediocre players in good teams.

Trump has tweeted supported for the Iranian protestors.
The left aren’t getting any mileage out of this so they’ve moved onto something else to try and throw dirt at Trump.

Please do not judge me by your standards. It's not big talk here. We discuss what we can and cannot afford. I got caught out a long time ago with an ex. I am not heading down that road again.
Whilst I appreciate there would be other factors at your end, I do not buckle to my other half's every whim like a lot of men seem to. But that's up to them, I'm sure they have their reasons as I have mine.

How many women have you killed?

Iran can’t even tell the difference between a passenger jet and a missile with their 1970s Russian technology and people think that they have the capability of warring with a super power.

Man Utd will replace Ashley Young with an over rated 17 year old from their youth team or spend £45 million on a diddy from a bottom half EPL team.

Mass Media - Evidence suggests that an Iranian missile brought down the Ukrainian passenger plane.
Social Media - Trump’s vicious and unprovoked attack on Iran forced them to retaliate and in the process mistakenly hit a plane.

They seem like good people. Meghan was treated horribly just because she wasn't white.
They are better away from the UK. Brexit gave the Right a majority voice and it is completely toxic.

In under a week the US have killed Soleiman and all but killed Iran's nuclear deal with no repercussions.

President Bonespur has had a wee glimpse at what war with Iran would look like and shat his pants. American's top general said last year he would need a million troops to invade Iran. America doesn't quite have a million people in their entired armed forces worldwide Army Navy Air Force everything. They also modelled what an invasion of Iran would look like and reckon they would lose twenty thousand troops in the first 48 hours.
Trump I think was played by the hawks into making a stupid and rash decision, and was handed a massive dose of reality causing him to back down immediately. War with Iran would be a disaster on an almost unimaginable scale, would definitely immediately become a much wider regional conflict and incur costs and losses beyond most peoples's comprehension.
Utter nonsense.

There has been 2 earthquakes in Iran and a Ukrainian Airlines Boeing 737 carrying 180 people goes down in a ball of fire over Tehran.
An odd day.

If there are no US casualties then hopefully it will deescalate the situation.

If the Iranian retribution for the US killing one of their top guys is to fire some rockets at an Iraqi base that had some US troops in it then we’ll be fine in Scotland.
