      Communications Assistant Interview

      10 Jul 2016
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Manchester, England
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at British Council (Manchester, England) in Jun 2016

      Interview

      Brief assessment with interview (about 45 minutes). Very formal process, the recruiters came from the HQ in London. It wasn't unpleasant and I received positive feedback at the end. Unfortunately for me someone had more experience and got the job. Regardless, just try and stay cool. As long as you try and research the kinds of answers to give beforehand you will be alright. Also note the skills and behaviour questions aren't exactly the same as what you are being asked. They are similar but you would have to adjust your answers accordingly.

      Question 1
