I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at NHS (London, England) in Feb 2017
Interview
Applied online, got an interview with the unit managers they were very friendly ad encouraging. They call me back few hours later to offer me the job. Very helpful in the process
Not very difficult, but you have to be prepared. Networks do not matter, the most important thing is loving your job and being prepared to answer the questions. Overall not a bad experience.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why i wanted to work as a nurse? How i would describe myself
Great process looking at whole person, good competencies and questions asked. Made to feel comfortable and timescales shared. Follow up not needed. Good understanding of my cv before hand. All stages communicated well to me in advance.
As expected. Application via NHS jobs. Interview with a panel of three people from the relevant department. Asked about the role, and a selection of about six competancy based interview questions.
