I applied online. I interviewed at Transport for London (Londres, Inglaterra) in Nov 2019
Interview
I attended an Interview for a Project Management role at TFL.
In my opinion, it was surprising that my interviewers did not quite understand the principles of project management themselves and found it difficult to relate the differences between project governance and project management for infrastructure delivery, the former facilitating the delivery of the later.
A recruiter’s role in my opinion is to select the best or most suited candidates who can deliver organisational objectives and success criteria in a candid and impartial way without being bias or meretricious.
My advice to Senior Management most respectfully is to use experience and competent recruiters who do not feel challenged by their interviewees and will recruit project team members who can inspire and engage with the stakeholders, delivering successful projects in a straightforward and impartial manner for TfL irrespective of their origins in a diverse world. It is one thing to promote equal opportunity and diversity at work, it’s another to practice this Rhetoric in Stealth. People are smart in my opinion.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Transport for London (Londres, Inglaterra) in Oct 2019
Interview
I applied online and was invited to the first assessment centre which involved ticket checking and grammar/spelling tests. I found this to be very basic. The sample tests will help you know what to expect as the real test is very much the same format as the practice paper.
I was then invited 2 weeks later for the role play and interview. Role play was a very basic scenario and all you will need to do is show your customer service skills. They give you a brief to go over before role play, make sure you stick to what it tells you to do and you will be fine.
Interview was quite relaxed, definitely try and think of some examples from your work or study experience beforehand though. I made a list at home of situations which matched up to the competencies they were looking for and I felt much more prepared at the interview than if I just went in having not thought of examples. My interview lasted around 20 mins and I had 4 questions. Don't worry about missing out on anything as the interview will probe you for more details if they need it.
I heard back 2 weeks after interview with the job offer. Overall I'm happy with how easy TFL made the process and their recruitment team are all friendly and do the job well. They are quicker at most other transport companies I have applied for in the past which is great.
