Quick call with the manager, asked basic experience based questions. The whole thing wrapped up pretty quickly. I'd read up on the ins and outs of logistics. E.g. categories of drivers licenses, types of vehicles, HGV companies in the area

Question 1
What experience do you have with the logistics industry?
I applied through college or university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Driver Hire (Edinburgh, Scotland) in May 2021
Interview
Very thorough but with a relaxed "get to know" me tone to it.
Met various members of the team.
Friendly and welcoming - got to see the environment and the industry well
The process begins with submitting a resume and application. If shortlisted, a recruiter or HR representative conducts an initial screening to assess basic qualifications and cultural fit .It was good experience for me.

Question 1
In my last interview, one of the key questions they asked was 'Can you describe a challenging situation you faced at work and how you handled it?' They were assessing my problem-solving skills and ability to work under pressure. I responded by sharing an example where I had to troubleshoot a critical issue under tight deadlines, explaining my approach and the positive outcome.
