Interview
Initial interview with recruitment consultant. Passed that then interview with ECITB panel.
The panel did not appear to know who they'd be interviewing next looking for someone of a specific gender when coming out into the reception area. Quite disconcerting.
Briefed that it would be a competency based interview, but in reality a mish mash of questions.
Panel had varying levels of engagement, from moderately interested to appearing rather irritated to be there.
Outcome had be chased for, no feedback given.
