I applied online. I interviewed at Newcastle College (Newcastle upon Tyne, England)
Interview
The process, initially informal and welcoming for successful interviews, later proved to be unfair. Unsuccessful candidates were later offered positions, even though it was widely known they were not suitable. Some job postings were deceptive, with fixed-term contracts used as motivation. Interviews were often just for show, as predetermined candidates were already chosen. Roles changed after appointment, and staff were shifted based on their compatibility, sometimes leading to less-suited individuals handling challenging courses that more favourable staff found 'beneath them'. Interviews while in a role were often a formality, with promises of future opportunities for those who didn't fit the mould.
