The application for the role was very simple. It took only a few days to be offered an interview, but this was a long time before the closing date for the applications. The closing date for applications was 19th September but my interview was the 8th September. I was greeted by a member of staff and seated in a hub area of the office. I was given a prioritising task which was more complicated than it needed to be due to the quantity of sheets of paper that you had to look through. Instructions for this task could have also been clearer. The interview itself was very positive, very relaxed and the manager who interviewed me was very nice. The format of the interview was a chat about myself and then basic interview questions. I liked that the manager followed my comments by relating them to the role, thus explaining the role more than was written in the initial job description. I was shown around the office then prompted to leave. Neutral experience due to the fact it is clear from the speed that the rejection was given (before interviewing for the day even finished) and the fact that interviews were so far away from the closing date for applications that this job was given to an internal member of staff. I feel that although the interview went well that it was a waste of my time and meant I have missed hours from my current role to attend.
