I applied online. I interviewed at British Council (Londres, Inglaterra) in Feb 2016
Interview
I was interviewed by three people (potential Manager, someone currently in the role and a member of HR). The online application was a little bit tedious because it didn't allow you to upload your CV and then pre-populate that way. The system was very good at showing you at which stage your application was at once submitted, which I thought was useful.

Interview
The interview was conducted using an online video conferencing solution. There were two interviewers present. The interviewers alternated in asking questions and took notes of responses. Overall it was expected to take about half hour and it took about 45 minutes. What can I say? It was a very pleasant and professional affair.
