Interview
I was invited for an interview one day after filling out my online application. I then had to select a time slot for the day do the interview.
Almost two weeks later, I attended the interview. There were four people being interviewed. First, they got all of us to do a group task where we had to discuss a scenario. We had to analyse it ourselves then discuss it as a group and write our thoughts on a poster during a limited time frame.
Afterwards, we all had 1:1 interviews. I had to wait around 20 minutes to be seen for the 1:1 interview. When I was seen, the interview lasted around 20-30 minutes. All of the assessors were lovely and made it a more chilled environment, which calmed me down.
Glad to hear your interview experience was a positive one. We like our assessors to make candidates feel at ease. It's how we get the best out in people so that's also great to hear. Thanks for leaving your review.
