I applied online. The process took 8 weeks. I interviewed at British Council (Manchester, England) in Mar 2017
Interview
My phone interview was scheduled for 10.50am, and they did not call until 11.30. No apology was given for keeping me waiting. All questions asked were regarding sales experience and absolutely nothing to do with my interest in the role or my teaching experience, this threw me off a little as all the preparation I had done previously was regarding my desire for this role. The interviewer themselves were unclear and very quiet, resulting in me having to ask them to repeat themselves around 2-3 times each question- obviously not a good start. I felt that the interviewer was just reading a few standard simple sales questions and was not interested in my application at all.
