It was a group interview, with around 15 people. We had to complete activities together and individual maths tests (about GCSE level), which weren't so hard, but definitely felt like an unusual format
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How would you improve the community with the library and the services it provides? (I think)
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Swindon Borough Council (Swindon, Wiltshire, South West England, England) in May 2025
Interview
Unorganised mess is the only words I can use.
My supporting letter had not been read which led to a lot of confusion throughout the whole interview. The interview felt unprofessional, both manager and supporting member of staff gave the impression they did not want to be sat in the room.
Interview questions in STAR format as well as a presentation. The presentation task was sent in advance and there were around 6 interview questions. The questions were based on how you would approach different scenarios.
