The interview process was not particularly difficult, but it was competitive because of the high calibre of the other candidates. It was also slightly longer than expected. The interview lasted one hour and consisted of eight questions. As part of the process, I was asked to create a portfolio and prepare a weekly content plan.

The interview process was really disorganised. Zoom meeting with 30 other candidates, 40 minutes to take attendance and do introductions. Second part of the interview consisted of 2 breakout room activities, where you worked on a 'how would you handle this' scenario in a team.
