I applied online. I interviewed at Versus Arthritis in Dec 2025
Interview
There was a task to prepare in advance (writing a briefing), and I was given interview questions in advance too. Interviewers were very friendly and understanding of nerves, the questions were quite specific to the role.

I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Versus Arthritis (London, England) in May 2020
Interview
Submitted CV and was contacted to arrange an informal chat to discuss the role. The 20 min screening interview was with a couple of the managers from the team - felt relatively informal. They outlined the next steps at the end (that they'd be in touch within a day or two) then I never heard from them again, even after a couple of polite follow-ups - really surprising as they seemed incredibly nice during the interview... Being ghosted post-interview is incredibly disrespectful, especially as they explained that they would be in touch.
