I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Ecology by Design (Chalgrove, England) in Jul 2019
Interview
Standard ecology interview - long and grilling, thoroughly identifying my strengths and weaknesses. Fairly informal and very friendly. Was undertaken by the director and potential line manager (Principle Ecologist). Involved seeing the office and meeting other staff briefly.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Skills test - what's your weakest area in ecology followed by being asked questions of increasing complexity until failure.
