I applied online. I interviewed at Animal and Plant Health Agency (London, England) in Oct 2024

Pre prepared presentation on the risk of entry of Foot and mouth disease into the UK with follow up questions. Followed by structured behaviour questions addressing the main behaviours outlined in the job description. Follow up questions added to ensure questions completely addressed.
I interviewed at Animal and Plant Health Agency (Newcastle upon Tyne, England)
Interview
Very straightforward process. Interviewers were friendly and professional. The whole process was seamless, with updates on the GOV website. Had 3 interviewers and they took turns asking questions, can be daunting at first, but I slowly eased into it.
