I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Allstate Northern Ireland (Strabane, Northern Ireland) in Feb 2018
Interview
Classroom IT assessment, team activity and interview. The selection process didn't scare or challenge. The interviewers were very pleasant during the whole process. There were a number of people up for interview but we were all treated with respect.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Are you prepared to work flexibly (e.g. beyond the end of your shift)
Virtual interview, no pressure very relaxed. As long as you are willing to work and answer the questions like an adult you will do well. Some work experience required but not necessarily IT
