Interview
The interview process involved first a phone interview then a face-to-face interview before being called in for an assessment centre and then a final interview with the director. It was a very hard process and there was a lot of competition especially in the assessment day. However it is extremely well tailored to the job and gives you an insight into whether or not you will be able to perform. The people carrying out the interviews are well organised and professional.
