Greeted by interviewing manager in reception - Poor initial impression offered a coffee by manager which I accepted - When I asked for sugar in my coffee the manager ripped the top off 2 sachets of sugar with his teeth and pour them into my coffee, nice!

We went into interview room where I met another manger both of them interviewed me, I was asked to reprise my CV and first manager became agitated and impatient. He then asked me what I knew about Serco when I mentioned some of the customers that I was aware of and were on the homepage of the Serco website he appeared to be unaware of some of Serco's customers.

The interview went downhill fast I was relieved when the manager stated it was working for him and I stated that I had noticed that very soon after the interview had commenced.

I thanked him for his time we shook hands and I left - probably one of the worst interviews I have ever had!
