Interview questions [1]
Question 1
General interview questions were asked. I was surprised that they asked me togo through my full employment history, more recent interviews fcussed on the most recent employment as that was held for nearly 10 years
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Zurich Insurance (Blackrock, Dublin) in Jul 2019
Interview
The job offer came soon after the interview. I was asked to provide references and details of previous education and employment. Once the background checks were done I was sent a contract and a handbook outlining the benefits. I noticed discrepancies between the contract and the Staff Handbook and when I questioned this I was told the handbook was out of date and I would not be sent an updated version I was also then told that some of the benefits in the handbook were not applicable to me. This raised many questions for me as I felt I was misled initially. There was much back and forth from then with amendments to the contract and follow-up questions to try to eliminate some of the ambiguity in the answers given to my initial questions. It was a needlessly drawn out process and definitely put me off working for the company.
